Preparation Steps
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg, then coat them in the flour mixture.

In a small saucepan, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
