1. Prepare the chicken:
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk egg, then toss chicken in egg, then coat with a mix of flour and cornstarch.
Heat oil in a pan or wok and fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towel.
2. Make the orange sauce:
In a pan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger.
Bring to a simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened (1–2 minutes).
3. Combine:
Add the fried chicken to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
4. Serve:
Spoon over steamed jasmine rice.
Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds or orange zest if desired.
