To Make Orange Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan combine the orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes. Cook for 3 minutes on medium heat.
2. In a separate bowl mix together 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water, stir until a paste forms. 
3. Add the cornstarch paste to the orange mixture and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Once thick, remove from heat and add the orange zest. Keep warm, stirring occasionally, while making the chicken.

To Make Chicken:

1. Use a shallow dish or pie plate and add 2/3 c flour, 2/3 cup cornstarch and salt. Mix.
2. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs.
3. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then coat with the flour mixture. Place pieces on a plate.
4. Pour 2-3 inches of oil in a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check that the oil reaches 350 °F
5. Place several pieces of chicken into the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes turning so all sides become a golden brown. Once cooked place the chicken on a paper towel to drain. Repeat until all the chicken has been fried.
6. Toss the chicken in the Orange sauce. If you desire to garnish with green onions & orange zest and serve with rice.
