    Can substitute chicken breasts for chicken thighs, and tamari for soy sauce.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Coconut crunch coleslaw; Perfect steamed jasmine rice; Gingery brown rice; Jade rice

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I wanted more orange flavor i guess based on the title? But the orange zest to finish it does make a difference

    This is delicious! (Parent note: did my kid who loves Publix deli popcorn chicken refuse to eat it and call it disgusting? Of course they did.) I ran out of sweet potato starch and my frying oil was running low, so I took the last quarter of the batch and just pan-fried it in a couple teaspoons of oil (just the marinated chicken--without adding the sweet potato starch). This was delicious as well. This recipe is a keeper but for me, my pan-fried version is probably more practical for a normal weeknight dinner.
