Post date: Jun 2, 2015 12:14:40 AM

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces

2 Tablespoons gluten free soy sauce (Kikkoman or San-J GF Tamari Sauce)

1 Tablespoon water

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1/4 cup cornstarch (or potato starch or rice flour)

Neutral-flavored cooking oil for frying

For the Sauce:

2/3 cup pulp-free orange juice

1/3 cup orange marmalade (sugar-free, if desired)

2 teaspoons cornstarch (or potato starch)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon soy sauce (or more to your liking) (optional)

Directions:

Place the chicken in a bowl and top with a mixture of the soy sauce, water and ginger.

Cover, refrigerate, and marinate for at least 2 hours.

Add the 1/4 cup of cornstarch or rice flour to a paper bag.

Add the marinated chicken and shake to coat thoroughly; shake off the excess flour; and transfer to a plate.

Preheat a heavy skillet over medium heat with 1-inch of oil or enough to cover the pieces of chicken.

In a cold saucepan, whisk the orange juice, marmalade, 2 teaspoons of potato starch and salt; and set aside.

Working in batches, fry the chicken pieces until they are golden brown.

Transfer the fried pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Right before serving, heat the orange sauce ingredients over medium heat.

Add the soy sauce a little at a time and stop when it reaches your desired level of savoriness.

Add the fried chicken; and lightly toss to coat all of the pieces.

Serve immediately....
