Baked Orange Chicken



2 large chicken breasts
2 eggs beaten
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp garlic salt
1 cup all-purpose flour

Sauce:
4-5 Tbsp sweet n spicy chili sauce  Found Here
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup orange juice
zest of 1/2 orange

Green onions for Garnish

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Cut chicken into 1inx1in cubes.  Dip in egg and the coat with flour.  Place on a tin foil lined baking sheet.  Cook for 15 minutes at 400 F, then broil for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.  (Some of the flour may not be absorbed by the egg.  That is okay and actually preferred.)  Meanwhile, while chicken is cooking, prepare sauce.  In a large pot combine chili sauce, orange zest, mayo, and orange juice.  When you start to broil the chicken, start heating the sauce mixture and bring to a boil.  Take chicken out of oven and put into pot.  Toss to coat the chicken with the sauce.  The remaining flour that did not get absorbed by the egg will help to thicken the sauce.
