Easy orange chicken is my answer when the takeout urge hits but I already have chicken in the fridge. Crispy bits first, sticky orange sauce second. The sauce is juice, zest, soy, sugar, and a splash of vinegar. Cornstarch on the chicken is what gets you that shatter-y coat. I fry in batches so the oil stays hot, then toss everything in the glossy sauce at the end. Rice on the side is non-negotiable at my house.
