This is just as good as take-out. Will definitely be making this more often.
I like orange chicken but neither my husband or myself liked it enough to give it a higher rating.
Simple and yummy! Added more cayenne since my family loves spice, but otherwise stayed true to the recipe.
This recipe is so delicious!! I will definitely be making this often ??
Tastes just like takeout. You really taste the orange. I made half and used Morning Star Popcorn “chicken”. I didn’t have trouble reducing the sauce but I did use a wide, shallow skillet
Loved this recipe!! Delicious. Quick and easy. I cooked the chicken in my air fryer. We added a little sriracha to spice it up a bit!
Was okay. Not bad but not great. Won't make it again.
This was an easy quick and delicious meal. I had some trouble getting the sauce to thicken so I mixed 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch with a little cold water and added it to the sauce, which did the trick. Next time I probably won’t put in as much orange zest, if any, which I think will give it more of a sweet and sour flavor.
This was a huge hit at our house! My son especially loved this dish!
Made this recipe recently and it was every bit as good as it claims. It's a keeper and I will definitely make it again. Just as good as Chinese take-out and pretty easy, too!
