Soy sauce, hatcher seasoning, cornstarch, egg whites, add a splash of water. It’s a good mix. I like a little sticky batter on the outside of the chicken. So we gonna fry these in batches and then take it off and fry them at a high temp, two minutes. They looking like that? Into a bowl, half a cup of soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little drop of sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic paste, ginger paste, orange zest, and orange juice. Now you got your sauce for your orange chicken. Now crank that heat up so we can double fry these, way more crispy. And get you a wok over medium high heat with an orange chicken. Tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water. This slurry is gonna be used to thicken everything up. Once you see this start to come to a boil, now you can add your slurry.
