Step-by-Step Instructions
- Marinate chicken by cutting breasts into 1-inch cubes and pouring tangerine juice over them; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Prepare sauce by combining tangerine juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, garlic and ginger pastes, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan; whisk and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Coat chicken by whisking eggs, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl; coat each marinated chicken piece with this mixture.
- Fry chicken in hot oil at 300°F for about 5 minutes until golden brown; use a slotted spoon to drain excess oil.
- Thicken the sauce by preparing a cornstarch slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water, then stir into the simmered sauce.
- Combine crispy fried chicken, tangerine segments, and diced bell pepper in the sauce; toss together on low heat for about 2 minutes.
- Garnish and serve hot over rice or noodles, topped with green onions and optional sesame seeds.

Notes
Ensure the chicken is marinated well for best flavor and texture. Adjust spice to preference and use fresh juice when possible.
