Cut the chicken thigh meat into bite-size pieces and toss with half of the salt.
Make a coating with the egg white, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and remaining salt.
Coat the chicken and rest it for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil to 175°C and fry the chicken in two batches for 5 minutes.
Mix the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar.
Stir the garlic and ginger in a pan for 30 seconds, then add the sauce.
When the sauce thickens, add the chicken and coat for 2 minutes.
Serve with scallions.
💡 Tip: Frying the chicken in two batches keeps the coating from softening with steam.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with steamed rice, broccoli, and scallions.
