Orange Sesame Chicken
Chu Tzu Gee - Peking

2 whole chicken breasts
flour for dusting
1 ounce rice sticks
peanut or other oil for deep-frying
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

MARINADE:
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash of white pepper

BATTER:
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soy sauce

ORANGE SAUCE:
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon orange liqueur or orange extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch


1. Skin and bone and butterfly-cut the chicken breasts, or simply cut into 1" cubes.

2. Mix marinade and add chicken, tossing to coat well. Cover and
chill 10 minutes.

3. Toss chicken with flour in a plastic bag; coat well.

4. Combine batter ingredients; mix until smooth and free of lumps.

5. Heat 1" of oil in a wok or deep-fryer to 400 degrees. Test with
one piece of rice stick: Within 3 seconds the rice stick added to oil
should puff. When oil is ready, fry rice sticks 3 seconds. Turn and
fry the other side 3 seconds. Drain and cool. Break into 1-inch
pieces and sprinkle on serving platter.

6. Heat 1" of oil in a wok or skillet to 375 degrees. Dip chicken in
batter and fry both sides until golden brown. Drain.

7. Cut fried breasts into 1-inch sections and place on platter atop
rice sticks. Keep warm.

8. Mix orange-sauce ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring
until sauce thickens and boils. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle
with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
