Spicy Orange Sesame Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the onion, garlic, and ginger and pulse to mince. Place in a bowl and combine with the lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, rum, crushed red pepper, sugar, and salt. Shake, or stir well, before use. Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch strips. Put in plastic bag or tub with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine sesame seeds with the flour. Dredge marinated chicken strips in the flour-sesame mixture. In a skillet, heat enough canola oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet until hot, but not smoking. Cook chicken strips, on both sides until golden brown. Transfer to a shallow roasting pan and finish in the oven.
• To assemble:
• Toss the Sesame Noodles with some Soy-Ginger Vinaigrette and some fresh mesclun greens. Place the noodle salad on a plate and top with the cooked sesame chicken. Drizzle some Spicy Apricot Sauce over the chicken. Garnish with pickled ginger and a side of the apricot dipping sauce.
• Cook angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water for 2 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Add the cilantro, scallions, olive, and sesame oils. Combine well.
• Combine all ingredients, except for the water, in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Then add the water and blend for another 10 seconds.
• Put all ingredients in a saucepan, and heat until the glaze melts. Whisk until smooth, and serve at room temperature. Add water if it gets too thick.

Steps:

• Wash the chicken under cold running water, pat dry and trim off any excess fat. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and put into a large mixing bowl. Add the marinade ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sauce.
• To make the sauce: In a saucepan, add the sesame oil and set over low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and fry gently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Gently pour into the saucepan with the fried ginger and garlic. Stir as you pour because the cornstarch will thicken up pretty quickly. Keep warm over low heat.
• In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
• Fry the chicken, in small batches, until golden and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken using a wire mesh strainer and drain on paper towels. Season with a little salt, to taste. To serve, arrange the fried chicken on a platter and pour drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds and garnish with scallions and cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• Finely grate peel from one orange; place peel in a small bowl. Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each orange; stand oranges upright on a cutting board. With a knife, cut off peel and outer membrane from oranges. Working over the small bowl with orange peel to catch juices, cut along the membrane of each segment to remove fruit; set sectioned oranges aside. Stir cornstarch, broth, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, jalapeno and pepper flakes into orange juice and peel., Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken; stir-fry 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken., Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Stir in reserved orange sections. Serve with rice. Sprinkle servings with sesame seeds and green onions.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine honey with juice concentrate, orange zest, garlic, and the red pepper flakes. Set aside.
• Pound chicken to approximately 1/4 " thickness. Cut into bite size pieces.
• In a plastic bag mix together the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss chicken pieces to lightly coat with flour mixture.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stirfry until just cooked through.
• Pour honey mixture over chicken and cook, stirring to coat all chicken pieces with spicy honey-orange glaze. Sprinkle with parsley and green onion.
• Tip: As stated above, you can leave the chicken breasts whole. Pour the glaze over chicken that has been cooked through, turning chicken to coat as sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken breasts with honey-orange glaze spooned over the top. Garnish with parsley and green onions.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Season the chicken on all sides with the salt and pepper and place in a baking dish.
• Dot the top of the skin with the butter and place in the oven on the center rack. Roast for 10 minutes.
• Mix the marmalade, sesame oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and use it to baste the chicken frequently until the meat reaches 167F-about 20 more minutes.
• Adjust oven to broil, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the chicken and broil until seeds are toasted and skin is crispy- about 1 minute.
• Remove chicken from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Bring the basting sauce to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Cut the skin and pith from the oranges and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Remove any seeds.
• Slice the chicken and place equal amounts of it, the oranges, and lettuce leaves inside the pitas. Drizzle each sandwich with the boiled sauce.

Steps:

• Cut veggies into chunks and minces garlic. Set aside for later.
• Combine all the sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk together. Set aside. (I recommend doing this ahead of time so the flavors can get happy together).
• Dice chicken into manageable chunks; about 1/4-1/2 inch pieces.
• Beat the egg and add cayenne pepper. Combine chicken into the egg mixture. Combine flour and corn starch in a ziplock bag, add the chicken pieces from the egg mixture into the bag. Close and shake. Shake off excess flour for the cooking process.
• Begin cooking chicken in a wok with about 2 inches of peanut oil in it. The oil should be 375-400 degrees. Work in small batches. Don't overload the wok.
• Once all the chicken is cooked, reserve only about 3 tablespoons of the oil in the bottom of the wok. Crank the heat up high and add your chicken back into the wok. Cook until all the pieces get a nice golden brown. You can add your veggies during this process.
• Once your veggies are cooked the way you like them add the sauce mixture and stir constantly. Saute for 3 minutes or so, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Steps:

• Place corn starch in a medium bowl and gradually whisk in OJ until smooth. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic and red pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In pot or wok heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook chicken until slightly browned and cook through. Transfer to plate and set aside.
• Add broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts and 1/2 cup water into wok. Cook, partially covered until broccoli is bright green, about 3 minutes. Add chicken back to wok along with cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil and cook until sauce thickens- 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
• Meanwhile, combine chicken, orange zest, 1 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoons soy sauce in a large bowl and toss to coat. Combine orange juice, broth, honey, sesame oil, pepper flakes, remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch and remaining 1 tablespoons soy sauce in small bowl.
• Heat 1 teaspoons canola oil in wok or large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until very hot. Add chicken and stir fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate. Return skillet to heat and add remaining 1 teaspoons canola oil. Add ginger and garlic; stir fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in broccoli and carrots and stir fry until broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes. Pour in orange juice mixture; bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Add chicken and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Divide chicken mixture and rice among 4 plates.
