3
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg.

In another shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch and all-purpose flour.
5
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, then dredge it in the cornstarch and flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Ongeveer 10 min

Fry the chicken for 4-6 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Ongeveer 10 min

Remove the fried chicken with a slotted spoon and place it on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain excess oil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes for the sauce.
Ongeveer 5 min
