Instructions
- Prepare the rice according to the manufacturer's instructions. You can use long-grain, medium-grain, or parboiled rice.
- Cut, marinate, and tenderize the chicken (see below for details).
- Heat a pan or griddle over high heat. Once hot, add oil and onions, and sauté for 30 seconds. Then add garlic and the velvetized chicken. Before stirring, sear the chicken for 1 minute, and then sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
- Lightly blanch the red and green bell peppers in oil for 10 seconds, and then add them to the pan.
- Add water, chestnuts, and Spicy Orange Sauce, and sauté until everything is steaming hot.
- Remove from heat and serve over a bowl of rice, garnished with Mandarin orange segments.
- To marinate: For 10 lbs. sliced or diced chicken, add 0.4 lb. (⅞ C.) Marinade Seasoning, 1¼ C. water, and 1 C. corn oil. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes or more.
- To velvetize: Oil-blanch chicken in a deep fryer at 350°F in 2-pound batches for 60-80 seconds, un-clumping the pieces with tongs. The chicken will NOT be fully cooked. Remove and drain.
- When cool, place in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use. Make batch daily.
