Season egg mixture, flour mixture and        chicken with salt and pepper.                Pour oil into a large frying pan or Dutch oven to a        depth of 2-3 inches. Heat oil to 350ºF/175ºC; use a        thermometer to monitor temperature. Line a sheet pan        with paper towels. Working in batches, add 4-5 pieces of        chicken to the hot oil at a time; use tongs or a metal        spatula to turn the pieces as they cook. Once lightly        browned, transfer to paper towel-lined sheet pan.        Continue until all chicken is fried; cover batches with        a kitchen towel.                To make sauce, pour orange juice, orange zest, brown        sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, green        onion, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes,        salt and pepper into a large skillet; heat to medium        high until sauce reaches a simmer. Continue simmering        4-5 minutes, stirring often. In a small bowl, whisk        together cornstarch and water. Pour into sauce mixture;        simmer 2-3 minutes or until sauce has thickened.                Add chicken back to the skillet; toss to coat. Simmer        3-4 minutes or until sauce is thick and sticky. Spoon        over hot cooked rice; top with green onion and sesame        seeds. Serve immediately.                Nancy Mock, Southbridge, Massachusetts                Makes:                RECIPE FROM: https://www.tasteofhome.com                Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives               MMMMM              ...
