Steps:

• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the batter and toss to evenly coat.
• Combine the garlic, brown sugar, marmalade, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, orange juice, orange zest, vinegar, water, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and the scallion whites in a large bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the peanut oil. Using tongs, add the chicken in an even layer and brown 4 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through. Don't crowd the pan, so work in batches if need be. Also, don't move it around-let it brown to get a nice crust. Remove the chicken with tongs to a plate and reserve.
