- METHOD - 

1. Cut your chicken breast meat into cubes, roughly just over an inch in size.
2. Depending on what you would like to serve this Chinese orange chicken, you can prepare either your noodles or rice now or towards the end of cooking the meal.
3. Make a batter by mixing all the batter ingredients together (check my notes below for the extra tip). Add a little water at a time to get the right consistency, not too watery and thick (sounding a bit like Goldilocks there). It should have a batter consistency so it coats the chicken well. 
4. Mix your chicken in the batter and leave aside for 10 - 15 minutes. 
5. At this point, you can make the cucumber side relish. To make it, add the sliced cucumbers, vinegar, salt, and sesame seeds to a bowl, cover it, and chill it in the fridge.
6. Next, heat the oil and fry the chicken for 10 - 15 minutes until golden. The size of your chicken pieces will determine how long they need to be fried. Then, remove the chicken from the oil and drain it on the parchment paper.
7. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a pan. Bring the sauce to a boil on medium heat until it thickens, then turn down the heat.
8. Once the sauce is glossy and thick in consistency, add to your fried chicken and ensure all the chicken is coated well.
9. Leave it to simmer on low heat for 5 - 10 more minutes.
10. Finally, before serving, garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve as is or on top of rice or noodles.
