Zest the skin of one orange for a total of 2 tablespoons of orange zest. Then juice the zested orange and one additional orange for a total of 2/3 cup of fresh orange juice.

In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, 1 tablespoon of orange zest, soy sauce, tapioca flour, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Ensure the tapioca flour is fully dissolved. Set the sauce aside.

Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces.

You will need three bowls to coat the chicken.

In the first bowl, add the tapioca flour. In the second bowl, add two eggs and whisk until blended. In the third bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and pepper and mix.

Drop a handful of chicken pieces into the tapioca flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Next, dip the coated chicken pieces into the beaten eggs and let any excess drip off.

Finally, coat the chicken pieces in the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the chicken to adhere.

Then, place the coated chicken pieces on a sheet.

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.

Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to check each piece before you remove it from the pan. Remove the cooked chicken pieces and set them on a plate to rest.

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the prepared orange sauce. Stir constantly and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the thickened orange sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and coated in the sauce.

Transfer the gluten-free orange chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onion, additional orange zest, and sesame seeds.

Serve your homemade gluten-free orange chicken with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or vegetables. Drizzle extra sauce over the top if desired, and savor the delicious sweet and tangy flavors!
