Jet Tilas Orange Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• For the sauce: Stir together the chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch and sesame oil. Set aside.
• For the noodles: Heat a pan to high and add the oil. Once you see wisps of white smoke, add the ginger and garlic and cook until light brown and fragrant, about 20 seconds. Stir in the chicken and cook until medium, about 1 minute.
• Add the noodles, carrots and bok choy to the pan and cook until tender, about 1 minute.
• Stir the sauce, pour into the pan and incorporate all ingredients well.
• Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce starts to bubble and thicken. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the scallions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Trim the excess skin and large lumps of fat from the chicken.
• Marinate the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and smashed garlic for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat dry. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken legs into the pan, working in batches if necessary, and brown on both sides. When all the pieces are browned, add the bay leaves and cracked peppercorns and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Return all the chicken pieces to the pot along with the reserved soy and garlic marinade and add the chicken stock. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until tender, about 40 minutes.
• When the chicken is tender, add the sugar and vinegar. Simmer another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. The adobo should have a kick of vinegar but taste balanced. If desired, stir in some of the slurry to thicken the liquid into a sauce. Serve over steamed rice with a fresh grind of black pepper.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Place your broccoli florets in a medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
• Heat the oil in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) Dutch oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) using a frying thermometer. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Mix 1 1/2 cups (335 grams) of the tempura flour and 1 cup (240 milliliters) water into a thick batter. It should look like thick pancake batter. Dredge the chicken cubes in the 1 cup (223 grams) of tempura flour and then coat them in the batter. Fry them in two batches until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels or a rack.
• Heat a wok or large skillet to high and add 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the fried chicken, onion, chiles, broccoli, and 1/3 of the ginger and garlic and cook them for about 30 seconds.
• For the sauce: While the chicken cooks, add the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch slurry, red food coloring if using, 1/3 cup water and the remaining chopped ginger and garlic into a 1-quart (946-millileter) saucepan and bring the heat up to medium. Whisk gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer and keep whisking it for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and reserve it.
• Stir in the sauce and allow it to coat the chicken and simmer. Cook it, folding all the ingredients until they are well coated, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the scallions.
