3 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions

Make the marinade: whisk together chicken broth, orange juice, honey, vinegar, soy, garlic, orange zest, sriracha, ginger, and white pepper in a bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and 2/3 cup of the marinade. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. Drain the chicken from this marinade.
Heat the remaining marinade in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with cold water and pour into the pan.
Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Keep warm.
One at a time, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, then dredge in the remaining 1 cup cornstarch, pressing in to coat.
Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. In batches, add the chicken and fry until golden brown about 1-2 minutes. Drain the excess oil
Serve the chicken immediately, tossed with the marinade and garnished with sesame seeds.
