Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Pillsbury Flakey Biscuits

  • Spray olive oil on both sides of biscuits and air fry at 325F for 5 minutes. Then let cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the donuts are cooling it’s time to make the chocolate glaze. In a bowl add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until glaze is smooth.

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil, for frying

Sauce

  • 1 cup Orange Juice fresh
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar or White Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch, mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • Orange Zest from 1 orange

Garnishes (optional)

  • sesame seeds
  • green onions

Instructions
 

Orange Chicken Sauce

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce except the corn starch in a bowl and set aside. Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Pour the sauce into a large skillet and place over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce is bubbling, stir in the orange zest and cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until thickened about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until the chicken is fried.

For the Chicken

  • Fill a large skillet with about 2 inches of oil then place over medium high heat. You want it to be 350F when you start frying.
  • Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk together and mix the chicken pieces in the egg. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and set aside on a plate or paper towels.
  • Fry the chicken in batches. Cook until golden brown (2-3 minutes) then flip over and fry on the other side. Once golden transfer to a cooling rack and continue frying the remaining chicken in batches. Keep the orange sauce warm on a low heat while frying the chicken.
  • Add the fried chicken to the orange sauce and toss to cover then sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds and serve over rice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you want to make the sauce spicy you can add red chili flakes to taste.
  • You can use store-bought orange juice instead of freshly squeezed but don’t skip that orange zest and make sure it’s 100% orange fruit juice and not from concentrate.
