    Delivery is such a chore; you have to pick up the phone (or download the app), decide what you want, decide what to tip the driver… Who has time for that?

Fragrant jasmine rice, roasted broccoli, and the star: tempura-battered chicken doused in spicy orange sauce. You know the old saying: Give a man a carton of crispy orange chicken, he eats for one night (and feels hungry an hour later), teach a man how to make crispy orange chicken, he orders Home Chef forever.

      Batter the Chicken

      Add canola oil to a medium non-stick pan and place over medium heat. Let oil heat, 5 minutes.

      While oil heats, pat diced chicken dry, and season with a pinch of salt.Combine tempura mix, 1/4 cup cold water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until a thin batter forms, like a thin pancake batter. If too thick, add cold water 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached.Add chicken pieces to batter and coat evenly.

      Cook the Chicken

      Combine orange sauce and Sriracha (to taste) in another mixing bowl.

      Test oil temperature by adding a drop of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool.Working in batches, carefully add chicken pieces to hot oil and cook until golden brown on two sides and pieces reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 1-3 minutes per side.Remove chicken to bowl with sauce and coat evenly.
