Orange Chicken Glaze Recipe

Chinese-American · Condiment · 15 min total

A sweet and tangy glaze that perfectly coats crispy fried chicken, inspired by the popular takeout dish. Easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Once simmering, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Let cool slightly before using. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.

Tips

• For a thicker glaze, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water.
• Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Reheat gently before using, adding a splash of water if too thick.
