Applebee'S Crispy Orange Chicken Skillet
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup, plus 1 tbsp cornstarch oil (for frying)
- Glaze:
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp grated orange rind
- 1 c fresh orange juice
- 1/2 c hoisin sauce
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 1/4 c granulated sugar
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1. Cut your chicken into 2 inch piece and put them into a large
- bowl. Add in the egg, salt, pepper and oil. Mix it well and set it
- to the side. In another large bowl, stir the cornstarch and flour
- together and mix it well. Add the chicken into the flour mix and
- coat each piece generously.
- 2. Pour about a 1/2 inch of oil into a heavy skillet and set it
- over high heat. When the temperature is 375 degrees, carefully put
- some chicken pieces in small batches and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or
- until it's brown and crispy/crunchy. Carefully remove the chicken
- from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain it on paper towels,
- brown bags, or however you'd like to drain it. Finish frying the
- chicken until they're all done. Set it aside and put together your
- glaze in the next step.
- 3. Let your oil cool slightly in the skillet and remove all but 2
- tbsp. of oil and put it over medium heat. Saute the minced garlic
- for a minute, being careful not to burn it so you don't end up with
- a bitter taste. Add the rest of the ingredient in and bring the
- mixture to a boil. Make sure to stir this for 3 minutes and reduce
- the heat and simmer it until a saucy thick glaze is created. Pour
- the glaze over the chicken and serve!
