INSTRUCTIONS:
- Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, sake and ginger for the best orange chicken.

- When you're ready to make the orange chicken, preheat a heavy pot filled with 2-inches of vegetable oil to 355 degrees F (180 C). Prepare a paper towel lined rack.
- Orange sauce for orange chicken including orange juice, orange zest and marmalade.
- Add all the ingredients for the orange sauce into a pan and whisk together.
- Dust the marinated chicken in potato starch before frying.
- Add 1/2 cup potato starch to another bowl, and dust the chicken with the potato starch. You want an even coating, but it should not be caked on.
- Fry the chicken until golden brown and crisp before coating in the orange sauce.
- Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, flipping a few times to ensure it browns evenly.
- Fried chicken for orange chicken.
- Drain the chicken on the prepared rack.

- When all the chicken is done, heat the pan with the orange sauce, stirring constantly until it thickens.
