Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, then coat them in the flour mixture.
  • In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • In a small saucepan, combine honey, orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering sauce and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the crispy chicken pieces to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  • Serve the crispy honey orange chicken over steamed rice or noodles.
