Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
Chicken:
  • 1½ lb. boneless, skinless, chicken breast or chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. cornstarch, divided
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1Tbsp vegetable oil
  • (optional) Sesame seeds, for garnish
Marinade:
  • 1 cup no-salt chicken broth
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce substitute (see recipe) or low sodium Worcestershire
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp Mrs. Dash Chicken Grilling Seasoning blend
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ⅛ tsp pepper
Instructions
  1. Directions:
  2. Mix chicken broth, orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling Seasoning, hot sauce, ginger and white pepper in a large bowl. Combine chicken and ⅔ cup of the marinade; marinate for at least 30 minutes, mixing occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
  3. Heat remaining marinade in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir in 2 tbsp. cornstarch combined with 2 tbsp. water. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened about 1-2 minutes; keep warm.
  4. Working one at a time, dip the chicken into the eggs, then dredge in remaining 1 cup cornstarch, pressing to coat.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil.
  6. Serve chicken immediately, tossed or drizzled with the marinade, (optional: garnished with sesame seeds)
