Learn how to make delicious Hot Orange Chicken. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well glazed.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
