            \r\n
          1. In a large bowl, combine orange juice, soy sauce, ginger and chicken pieces. Cover and marinate for 2 hours, or minimum 30 minutes in the fridge.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
              \r\n

                \r\n
              1. Remove chicken from marinade, working with a few pieces of chicken at a time, dredge in cornstarch mixture, followed by egg, and then back into cornstarch mixture to coat. Place on a large plate, and drizzle with oil to dampen the coating so it will become crisp.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                  \r\n

                    \r\n
                  1. Cook for 4 minutes, flip chicken over, and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Chicken should be golden, with internal temperature reading 165\u00baF on an instant read thermometer. Place in a large bowl.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                      \r\n
                    1. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Set aside.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                        \r\n
                      1. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, chill paste, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                          \r\n
                        1. Stir in cornstarch slurry until thickened. Remove from heat.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                            \r\n
                          1. Pour orange sauce over chicken and toss to coat. Serve chicken topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
