Recipe View 5 mins In a small bowl, transfer about 1/4 cup of the sauce from the skillet. Whisk in the cornstarch until it is completely dissolved and smooth. Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the chicken and sauce in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of sesame oil to the sauce.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of cornstarch slightly. Be sure to dissolve it completely in cold water before adding it to the skillet to prevent clumps.
Serve this delicious Thai Orange Chicken over steamed jasmine rice or your favorite noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and extra peanuts for added flair.

    I used honey instead of brown sugar, and it was still delicious.

    A little too spicy for my kids, I will reduce the red pepper flakes next time.
