Crack eggs in a shallow dish or bowl and break yolks - lightly scramble.

Mix together cornstarch and rice flour on a separate shallow dish.

Dip chicken pieces into egg. Let any excess drip off then dredge into the flour mixture and coat pieces of chicken.

Heat oil for deep frying in wok or deep fryer to 375 degrees.

While oil is heating, stir together orange sauce ingredients except the sesame oil in bowl, then transfer to wok, saucepan or saute pan. Heat the sauce thoroughly then add sesame oil and stir together. Turn sauce to low.

Once oil is heated, fry in batches about 3-4 minutes until golden crisp and chicken is 165 degrees internally.
