Orange Sesame Chicken
far greater majority of folks use these things to zest oranges and lemons, grate garlic/ginger... don't bother
instead, use a vegetable/potato peeler to strip it all the way down. Then I just throw it in a spice grinder. Save a few strips for garnish
orange zest, garlic, red pepper flakes
half a cup of sugar
half a cup orange juice, half a cup chicken stock, let it reduce by half
add some soy sauce, the juice from an orange, either 1/2 cup of rice vinegar or 1/4 cup of white vinegar, tablespoon of corn starch+tablespoon of water to thicken it up and some sesame oil to make it glossy. If you happen to have this stuff called orange water, use it instead of water with the corn starch. It'll put this dish on a level no chinese restaurant can ever, ever hope to touch.
throw your chicken in there. It doesn't have to be fried chicken.
plate it up and kick it out. Garnish with the strips of orange zest I said to not grind up and possibly some green onions. Tupperware cause I made this for somebody else.
*if you wanna get fancy and make, say, Duck L'Orange for a date or your S/O, you can use Grand Manier instead of vinegar and butter instead of sesame oil and just spoon the sauce over the duck
