- MARINADE
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch

How to Make
-
Step 1: Mix together soy sauce, cornstarch and water together. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes.
-
Step 2: While it is marinating, prepare the orange sauce so that it is ready when you need it later. Mix together oil, orange juice concentrate and barbecue sauce.
-
Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon and carefully add it to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken, over medium-high heat, for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
-
Step 4: Add the orange sauce to the chicken and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened.
-
Step 5: Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
-
Step 6: Serve over rice or noodles.
