Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 eggs 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 1 1/2 cups orange juice 1/3 cup dark brown sugar 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Stormy Rice, recipe follows
  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour in enough oil to fill the pot about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees F.

Directions

Line a sheet tray with a wire cooling rack. Slice chicken into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. In a paper bag, shake together salt, pepper, flour and cornstarch. Dip the chicken in batches, first in egg mixture, then in the flour mixture and shake to coat. Set on a wire rack and let sit 10 minutes. While chicken is resting, prepare sauce. In a large straight sided saute pan combine orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, butter, hot pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the saute pan with the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Remove to a serving platter and serve on Stormy Rice.

  • Inactive Prep Time: 5 minutes

Stormy Rice:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup white rice, rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken broth 1/4 cup slightly crushed peanuts
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and rice and saute 4 minutes, stirring, so that the rice toasts and the garlic cooks. Add the chicken broth to the rice mixture, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered another 5 minutes. Stir in the peanuts, scallions, and salt and pepper, to taste. Rice can be made 1 day ahead, then warmed and combined with other ingredients before serving.

    Wow this recipe is amazing. I am a new cook and over the years have tried several recipes from this site. This is for sure one of the best and so easy! I used chicken breast and would add more oj to the sauce next time. Thanks Sunny!

    I have fallen in love with this recipe and so has anyone I've ever served it to. I haven't tried the stormy rice with it yet though. So far I've used red beans and rice and bacon sauteed spinach as sides which compliment it very well.

    This is the absolute best recipe!!! It's my go to for company and a fun meal to make with others.
    The only changes I make is to cook the sauce down longer to thicken it a bit more.
    YUM!!!
