When you eat it, you don’t know what it is, but it tastes special and different. NOT LEMON, NOT SOUR ORANGES, but the sweet ones! In tangerine chicken, the key is just the sauce! When the sauce is good, you can even eat it only the sauce and the rice and feel that it’s delicious already! One of the biggest thing about aromatic tangerine chicken besides its sauce is the orange peel, some restaurants will cut it really-really-really small and make this peel pieces stuck between the chicken when its combined with sauce. The real tangerine chicken uses REAL SWEET AND RIPE MANDARINE ORANGES to make the sauce.

Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. I know… I’m so basic 😅 but it really is nice to eat during rainy day, or when I’m sad or kinda stressed. Squeeze cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl reserve the spent peels. One of the favorite Chinese food is tangerine chicken.

Dip marinated chicken into beaten eggs and then cornstarch. In a large heavy duty pan heat about 1 1/2' of oil until hot but not smoking. Highly seasoned dish with chicken with tangerine peel in special spicy sauce.

When I live in Korea, Chinese restaurants are everywhere and they’re super good! Ranging from the fancy-high class restaurant with smoke coming from the dish to the super cheap one that still taste good too! There are also many restaurants with Michelin star, which one of the sign that they serve exceptionally delicious food! In a small bowl or ziploc bag add chicken and pour 2/3 cup orange sauce over the top.
