Method
- In a bowl, whisk together orange zest, orange juice, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and arrowroot starch. Set aside.
- Heat avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and chili flakes, and stir together for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the orange juice mixture and heat to simmer, stirring occasionally. Once it becomes thick to your liking, about 3-4 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
- In another large shallow bowl, stir together arrowroot starch, salt, and pepper.
- Remove each chicken piece from the egg wash, shake off excess dripping, then coat in the starch mixture.
- In a wide skillet, heat 1/2 inch of avocado oil over medium high heat.
- Once sizzling hot, add coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, then flip to cook for 2-3 more minutes. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches.
- Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl. Pour the orange sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately over warm rice or cauliflower rice.
