What is orange chicken

Cook for minutes. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 more minutes. Total cook time is about minutes. Remove fried chicken cubes and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, so the chicken can drain.

Repeat until all the chicken is cooked. Once chicken is done, pour out hot oil and wipe pan clean. Add a fresh tablespoon of oil along with chopped garlic and shallot. Cook for a minute and then add the sauce. Simmer the sauce until it starts to thicken. Once the sauce is lightly bubbling, add fried chicken and toss together to coat. The sauce should continue to thicken and stick to the chicken. Let simmer for a minute or two more.

Serve orange chicken over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh scallions. The orange chicken keeps well in the fridge for 5 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water over low heat. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

Since retiring I've taken up cooking. More so since prices have gone up. This is better than any orange chicken I've had anywhere!

Easy to make, perfect flavor profile, my wife was very impressed. Great for kids tired of regular chicken dishes. I just tried this and commented today. I air fried just bare chicken nuggets, saved me some time and came out perfect, but I usually air fry in general. I would use the same recipe and spray the coated chicken with cooking spray, or olive oil in spray bottle right before starting the air fryer, then again about half way through.

The best orange chicken ever! I usually use myfitnesspal. I enter it all into a spreadsheet. Then I total each nutritional column. That gives me the nutritional value for the entire recipe. I divide each value by the number of servings in order to get the nutritional values per serving.

It does take a little minute to do this, but, for me, it is worth the effort. I keep a blank nutritional value spreadsheet and when I create my recipes in my computer I add the nutritional values of the entire recipe and by serving. I have not done that for this recipe and I also made a few adjustments to the sauce.

I used sirloin tip instead of chicken. I hope this helps. I made the orange sauce and served it over Sirloin Tip, cut thin, against the grain with broccoli and a side of my fried brown rice. I doubled the sauce recipe and used 5 large chicken breasts--it served 6 paired with rice and broccoli. Now this is our favorite of all our favorites!!

My husband did not believe I made it myself from scratch! He was looking for "to-go" boxes. So good! The only thing, 3 eggs was way too much for 4 thighs batch. Maybe I had large eggs.

I was searching for this very recipe today and I wanna thank you for such an amazing and tasty recipe! The ingredients are in the exact order as yours but with slight changes to amounts.

Recipe was so easy to follow. This orange sauce is the best I have ever tried. It tastes exactly like a restaurant I used to go to in my hometown. I used red wine vinegar instead because I was out of white vinegar and it was great!! Going to be a staple in my family now! We love orange chicken in our house.

Any more sugar, and the tang of the orange juice would have disappeared, in my opinion. Best recipe for orange chicken! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Will definitely make this again!
