Schritt 2Cook the chicken4 min
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer, working in batches if needed so the pieces have room to brown. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden on the outside and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Hinweis
Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan – this ensures a crispy sear.

Schritt 3Make the orange sauce
