It is a Chinese fusion dish that is popular in America rather than in Asia or even China

Orange chicken is the signature dish of the American fast-food chain Panda Express, which sells over 100 million pounds of it every year. 

This food becomes more popular after being "mentioned" in one of the popular Tv shows 'The Big Bang Theory'.

In that comedy TV series, the character Sheldon's favorite Chinese food is orange chicken.

The variety of orange chicken most commonly found at North American fast food restaurants consists of chopped, battered, and fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet orange-flavored chili sauce, which thickens or caramelizes to a glaze.

This dish is kinda my comfort food, especially when I feel homesick or I need something "Asian" flavor for my own at home.

Making this orange chicken (or any other Asian dish) is pretty simple. Some of you may hesitate to see the "long list" of ingredients or cooking process.

After you gather your ingredients and finish your preparation. You are ready to go.

There are three steps to making this orange chicken; marinating the chicken, frying it, and making the sauce.

For this recipe, I use chicken thigh. Of course, you can use chicken breast, but for me, the thigh is juicier than the breast part. Especially we will double-fry the chicken later.

Why double-fry? Double-fry makes the battered chicken crunchy and will not be soggy after being coated with the sauce. That's the secret. 😊

I am sure after you try this recipe, you will save your money for the takeout 😊

Orange chicken atau ayam saus jeruk terkenal sebagai makanan siap saji ala restoran yang menyajikan makanan Asia dan Cina di Amerika. Sebenarnya makanan bukan dari negeri Cina.

Penggagas dan pembuat asal orange chicken ini adalah seorang chef bernama Andy Kao. Dia mengklaim membuat dan mengembangkan makanan ini di salah satu restoran Cina bernama 'Panda Ekspress'. Makanan ini dikembangkan dari perpaduan makanan asli khas Cina yaitu general tso chicken dan sweet and sour chicken (ayam asam manis) yang kemudian menjadi terkenal di Amerika.

Kepopulerannya makin naik ketika disebut-sebut di serial komedi televisi terkenal "The big bang Theory". 

Sesuai namanya, makanan ini berasa asam manis dengan aroma jeruk yang kuat. Rasa asam didapat dari perasan jeruk sunkist yang segar dengan campuran cuka yang memperkuat rasa asamnya.

Salah satu makanan favorit saya terutama ketika kangen tanah air. Kebetulan musim dingin seperti ini juga musim jeruk. Di pasar banyak sekali ditemui dan dijual aneka macam jeruk. Mulai jeruk mandarin hingga 'orange blode orange'.

Bagaimana? pengen coba juga? yuk simak resepnya.. Jangan lupa follow facebook saya dan channel YT saya ya untuk dapatkan resep-resep unik dan lezat lainnya.💗

🍊 ½ sdt baking powder

🍊 sedikit garam

🍊 150 ml air dingin

🍊 Minyak goreng secukupnya

Saus Jeruk:

🍊 2 sdt jahe cincang halus (dari 1 cm jahe)

🍊 2-3 sdt bubuk cabe kasar

🍊 60 gr (4-5 sdm) gula

🍊 ½ gelas perasan jeruk segar (bukan juice kalengan ya)

🍊 2 sdm soy sauce

🍊 3 sdm cuka masak (saya pakai cuka apel)

🍊 parutan kulit jeruk sunkist

🍊 1 sdm pati jagung larutkan dengan 2 sdm air

Cara membuat:

1) Marinasi daging ayam. Campur semua bahan marinasi denga potongan ayam, aduk rata. Tutup dengan plastik dan diamkan minimal 30 menit.

2) Siapkan adonan balutan ayam. Campur semua tepung, baking powder, dan garam. aduk dengan whisk. Tambah air dingin sambil diaduk hingga halus.

Panaskan minyak goreng dengan api sedang. Masukkan ayam yang sudah dimarinasi ke adonan balutan (coating). Goreng hingga keemasan. Lakukan sampai habis. Goreng ayam sekali lagi agar lebih garing dan tidak lembek ketika dibalut saus nantinya. Sisihkan.

3) Saus jeruk.

Campur semua bahan untuk saus jeruk kecuali campuran pati jagung dan air. Aduk rata hingga gula larut. Panaskan wajan dan masak campuran saus jeruk tadi. Masak dengan api sedang saja sambil diaduk-aduk hingga mendidih. Lalu masukkan larutan pati jagung (maizena), aduk cepat hingga saus agak kental.

4) Terakhir masukkan ayam goreng tepungnya. Aduk-aduk hingga semua ayam terbalut saus jeruk. Angkat dari api.

Sajikan hangat segera, bisa ditaburi wijen sangrai ketika disajikan.

Selamat mencoba. Semoga bermanfaat.
