Vegetable oil, for frying
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 eggs
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 orange, zested
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/3 cup dark brown sugar

Instructions:

Line a sheet tray with a wire cooling rack. Slice chicken into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. In a paper bag, shake together salt, pepper, flour and cornstarch. Dip the chicken in batches, first in egg mixture, then in the flour mixture and shake to coat. Set on a wire rack and let sit 10 minutes. While chicken is resting, prepare sauce. In a large straight sided saute pan combine orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, margarine, hot pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. If too thin dissolve 1 tb corn starch in cold water and stir into sauce slowly. Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the saute pan with the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
