Orange Chicken with Radish & Bok Choy

April 29, 2015 by Jo Barnett

I was missing Chinese food, especially orange chicken. Being gluten free presents quite an issue due to the soy sauce and flour used in restaurants so I made this recipe and let’s just say “Winner, Winner, Orange chicken dinner”.

  2. Combine all the above dry ingredients in a bowl or zip lock bag. Add chicken and coat completely.
  3. Heat oil to get it really hot in large frying pan.

  5. Remove chicken from oil to a paper towel to drain. Salt chicken while very hot.
