Instructions:
- Cut the chicken breast into cubes. In a mixing bowl, marinate the chicken with orange juice, rice vinegar, rice wine, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and press down so the marinade will soak the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

- In a saut pan, add vegetable oil and turn to high heat.
- Add in the chicken and saut for 1 minute. Toss the chicken and saut for another minute or until caramelized.
- Transfer the chicken to a dish.
- Continue to use high heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pan and saut until soft.
- Add the chicken back to the pan, with the white parts of the green onion and orange zest. Cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the liquid to the pan and let it simmer to 30 seconds.
- Add the remaining green onion to the pan and let the sauce continue to reduce and thicken.
- When the sauce is reduced to desired consistency, add salt and pepper to taste. The orange chicken is done.
