Coat each piece of chicken well with cornstarch.

Arrange chicken on well-floured wax paper.

Heat 2-3" of oil in a pan until very hot.

Fry chicken for 30 seconds. Drain well on a cookie sheet covered with paper towels.

Reheat oil over high heat until very hot.

Refry chicken until crispy and golden brown.

Drain again and keep hot in oven.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok over medium heat. Fry orange rind until golden brown.

Add chili and ginger, stir-frying 20 seconds.

Mix in seasoning sauce and heat to boil, stirring constantly until foam subsides and the sauce thickens slightly and turns to glaze (about 2 minutes or more).

Add fried chicken, tossing to coat well. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.
