Creating this incredible Orange Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting your chicken into bite-sized pieces and patting them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat in the flour and cornstarch mixture.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

6. Make the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

7. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the orange juice, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well.

8. Thicken the Sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to thicken. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

9. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the fried chicken to the sauce, tossing to coat each piece evenly.

10. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to allow the flavors to meld.
