Steps
1. In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Gradually add cold water to create a smooth batter.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
4. Dip chicken pieces into the batter, letting excess drip off, and carefully fry them until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
5. In a separate saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic powder, and orange zest. Heat on medium until the sauce thickens.
6. Toss the fried chicken bites in the orange sauce until evenly coated.
7. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy orange chicken bites!
