RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Intermediate
Total: 45 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Sauce:
1/2 cup (118 ml) oyster sauce
1/2 cup (95 g) sugar
3 ounces (90 ml) orange juice
3 ounces (90 ml) rice wine vinegar (unseasoned)
1 tablespoon (7 g) cornstarch, mixed into the rice wine vinegar as a slurry
2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) hoisin sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 drop red food coloring, optional
Chicken:
3 cups broccoli florets
Kosher salt, to taste
1 1/2 quarts (1.8 L) vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 pounds (900 g) chicken thighs, cut in to 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 1/2 cups (335 g) tempura flour
Assembly:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as canola or grapeseed
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
Fried chicken pieces, from above
2 to 3 scallions, 2-inch bias slice
1/2 yellow onion, large dice
Orange Chicken Sauce, from above
Fried Rice, recipe follows
Fried Rice:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as canola or grapeseed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups day old rice, long grain or jasmine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon powdered chicken bouillon
2 to 3 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoons white pepper, optional
Directions
For the sauce: Add the oyster sauce, sugar, orange juice, vinegar-cornstarch slurry, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and paprika into a 1-quart saucepan, bring the heat up to medium. Whisk gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow to simmer, keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and reserve.
For the broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a microwave safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Season with kosher salt and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Hold for assembly.
For the Chicken: Heat the oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven to 375 degrees F using a frying thermometer. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle 1 cup tempura flour over the chicken cubes and toss to lightly dredge, shake off the excess. Mix the remaining 1 1/2 cups of tempura flour with 1 cup cold water to make a thin batter, it should look like pancake batter. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels or a rack.
To assemble: Heat a large skillet to high and add the vegetable oil. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the garlic, ginger and fried chicken pieces and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions, onion and Orange Chicken Sauce and allow to coat and simmer. Stir until all the ingredients are well coated, about 2 minutes. Serve over fried rice or steamed rice, with the steamed broccoli.
Fried Rice:
In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Pour in the eggs and add the rice immediately. Using a wide silicone spatula, work the rice into the egg in circular motions, making sure not to break the grains. After about 30 seconds, the egg will start to coagulate and surround the rice, the rice will start to dry. Keep scraping the pan and folding the rice back into the middle.
Add the soy sauce, sugar and chicken bouillon. Continue to fold for about a minute. Don't be afraid to scrape up the rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the rice absorbs the liquid and egg but is still fluffy. Fold in the green onions and white pepper and cook for an additional minute. Serve immediately.

easy chicken marinade!
Easy chicken marinade ????
Marinade:
2 sliced jalapeño
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs cumin
1 tbs smoked paprika
1 tsp oregano
4 cloves minced garlic
Zest of 1-2 limes
3 tbs lime juice
Big pinch of salt and pepper
This marinade will literally work amazing with Steak, chicken thighs or chicken breasts!
Add 2-3lbs of meat of choice to a gallon bag along with your marinade!
Let sit for at least 2-3 hours or overnight in the fridge!
These work amazing on the grill or even just as easy to cook up in a pan! I like the crispness an air fryer brings so I threw mine in at 390° for about 6 minutes, then flipped for another 6 or until internal temp hits about 160°
Avocado corn salsa: (that I can literally put on anything)!
1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
1 roasted cobb of corn kernels
1 cubed avocado
1/2 cup minced onion
3/4 cup rinsed black beans
Big handful of chopped cilantro
2 limes juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Makes 4 servings:

I Love to throw all this on top of some rice! Such an easy dinner or healthy meal prep!
Those tortilla strips, I just sliced thin strips of flour tortillas and tossed in a little avocado oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Then air fried for a couple minutes at 390°
