Orange and Ginger Chicken

1 C orange juice
½ C. chicken broth
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
4 tsp rice cooking wine
4 tsp cornstarch

Mix sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved and set aside.

Chicken:
2 pounds chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
2 eggs, beaten
Flour as needed
Oil as needed
2 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
½ of an orange peel, cut into thin slices

Dip chicken in egg and then coat with flour. Place on a plate until ready to fry. Heat about 2-3 C oil in a wok or deep skillet over high heat. Add chicken pieces all at once and fry until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. When done remove chicken and drain on paper towels. Rinse out wok/skillet and add a small amount of oil to heat. Add ginger and orange peel, stir fry until it becomes fragrant, about 1 min. Add sauce and stir until it boils and becomes thickened. Mix in chicken and serve immediately.
