Scott's Amazing Orange Chicken

I really love to cook, and since I've been home for a few months on maternity leave, I've had a tendency to dominate the kitchen. It keeps me busy and away from unsavory behaviors. So it's not that my husband CAN'T cook, it's that I rarely let him.
But every once in a while he gets really excited about making something for me, and inevitably it turns out awesome.
Last night, he decided very adamantly that he would make Orange Chicken. It was his first attempt, but it came out better than anything I've ever ordered from a Chinese restaurant. 

Behold Scott's Awesome Orange Chicken!

The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, the sauce was tangy and salty and sweet in just the right amounts. It was so delicious, it shut Intolerable Steve up for a full 10 minutes, rendering him nearly tolerable in the process. And my husband was so very pleased with himself, he's allowed me to post his recipe.

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts , chopped into bite sized pieces
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons salt 
• 2 teaspoons of pepper 
• oil (for frying)
• 1/2 cup corn starch
• 1/4 cup potato flour 
  
  Beat egg with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Dredge chicken in egg mixture.  Combine flours with remaining salt and pepper. Coat chicken pieces with flour mixture.
  Set aside.
  
  
  In a sauce pan, combine: 
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of GF soy sauce 
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of water
• 5 tablespoons of sugar 
• 5 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• zest and juice from 2 large oranges
  
  Bring the sauce to a rolling boil, then reduce heat. Simmer uncovered while you fry the chicken.
  Shallow-fry the chicken in a deep skillet with about 2 inches of peanut oil in it. Oil should completely cover chicken pieces. Turn as necessary until all of chicken is golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  Remove sauce from heat.
  Let chicken and Sauce rest for about 5 minutes. Sauce should be the consistency of pancake syrup.
  Put chicken in a seal-able container. (Scott used a large Tupperware bowl.) Pour all of sauce over chicken. Seal container, and shake until all chicken is evenly coated.
  Serve over rice with broccoli. Garnish with sliced ginger and orange.
  
  
  
  
  
  Voila! The sexiest chicken You've ever had.  Seriously.
