Beat eggs with salt and pepper and add chicken and let sit for 15 minutes. Put chicken in cornstarch and coat well and fry.

For the sauce

1 1\2 cups of orange juice

Zest from 1 Orange

1\3 cup Brown sugar

6 table spoons butter

2 teaspoons of hot pepper flakes.. Put how ever much you want. I put just a little

This sounds good, but what do you do with the orange? Slice it, cut into pieces, something else? Thanks!

Oh sorry.I will update it. You use the zest of a whole orange.

I can see me using that orange sauce on a lot of things...shrimp for one!

You could use that orange to get fresh OJ besides zesting it.

I always keep a L&L of orange juice concentrate in my freezer.

That way, I can make OJ for any amount in a recipe.

Thanks @Pooky1 ! That'll add tons of orange flavor. Yum!
