Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Coating the Chicken
- Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then dredge in the dry mix, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres. Shake off excess coating.
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the coated chicken in a single layer and fry until the exterior is golden and crisp and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Remove the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Making the Orange Glaze
- In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Finishing Touches
- Pour the warm orange glaze over the crispy chicken and toss gently to coat.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
To preserve texture, store the sauce separately from the fried chicken and reheat briefly in a skillet to restore crispness before serving.
