You can add chili flakes to spice more, this recipe is quite sweet with a small kick. Very orange. Very tasty. This is my own take on the dish
2 sliced Scallions
2 lbs chicken
1 tablespooon Orange Zest (or sliced orange peel)
2 tsp. minced garlic
3 tablespoon "sweet cooking chili"
1 tablespoon Orange Marmalade
1-2 cup oil
Cornstarch
1 egg
Break egg and mix in small bowl
Put chicken in egg, then coat in corn starch (potato starch is much better)
Cook chicken until crispy in oil.
Drain chicken, remove oil from wok.
"necklace" wok in chili oil (or regular oil, do not use sesame) This will result in the wok being oily and ready for sauce, use 1 tsp. oil.
add garlic and orange zest
quickly add the sweet cooking chile and orange marmalade
add scallions
add chicken and stir vigorously to coat. Your sauce should be thick and bubbly, if not, add Slurry = (cornstarch and water)
Enjoy and happy holidays.
