PF Changs Orange Chicken

I lllllloooooovvve Pf Changs infamous orange chicken. I have actually never tried this recipe before, but I am going to-I will let you know. It looks like it has the right ingredients. I think the key is the chili garlic sauce which I am assuming is somewhat pricey and located in the ethnic isle in the grocery store.

Sauce:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 green onions, sliced
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup water (I actually would replace the water with orange juice)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
peel from 1/4 orange, julienned (into 1/8″ thick strips)

1. Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil; add garlic and onions; do not let the garlic burn; add tomato sauce; bring to boil.
2. Add sugar, chili sauce and soy sauce; bring to boil; simmer five to six minutes or until sauce thickens; remove from heat.
3. Prepare chicken: In wok or large skillet, heat oil. Meanwhilecut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
4. In medium bowl combine egg and milk; mix well. Place flour inshallow dish.
5. Coat chicken pieces - first in the flour, then the egg wash andback into the flour. Cook in 2 or 3 batches until all chicken is cooked.
6. When chicken is done, remove oil and rinse out wok or pan with water;reheat pan. When hot, add orange peel and chicken; heat through -about a minute - stirring gently. Add sauce.
