  2. On a large baking sheet, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Season with black pepper. Sprinkle cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) over the chicken and lightly toss. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken bakes, whisk together ? cup of tamari, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, honey, chili paste, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
  4. After the chicken has baked for 30 minutes, pour two-thirds of the sauce over it and toss to coat. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until cooked through.
