Directions:

Skin and bone and butterfly-cut the chicken breasts.

Mix marinade and add chicken, tossing to coat well. Cover and chill 10 minutes.

Toss chicken with flour in a plastic bag; coat well.

Combine batter ingredients; mix until smooth and free of lumps.

Heat 1-inch of oil in a wok or deep-fryer to 400 degrees. Test with one piece of rice stick: Within 3 seconds the rice stick added to oil should puff. When oil is ready, fry rice sticks 3 seconds. Turn and fry the other side 3 seconds. Drain and cool. Break into 1-inch pieces and sprinkle on serving platter.

Heat 1-inch of oil in a wok or skillet to 375 degrees. Dip chicken in batter and fry both sides until golden brown. Drain.

Cut fried breasts into 1-inch sections and place on platter atop rice sticks. Keep warm.

Mix orange-sauce ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring until sauce thickens and boils. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
