1) Found your recipe
2) Sourced the items needed
3) Cooked chicken in batches
4) Worked like a charm

Problem – Gave a taste to kids and wife. They would not leave the stove area. They were eating the batches as they were coming out of the deep fryer and I was pouring the sauce on.

I used your list of ingredients, adding nothing else(which is very rare)and did my own thing with them which worked out great. I’ve never taken the time to blog about a recipe before but I have to say that I am very happy to have found yours.

I made this tonight and used the tip of less flour and more cornstarch. It was awesome!! My 2 kids loved it as well as my mom….next time maybe a few moe pepper flakes

I happened to pick your blogs website out of a long list claiming to have an orange chicken recipe. I was so glad I found it. I like “Chinese” food but hate ordering take out or getting fast food. Your recipe tastes great. I made a few changes as I added a little more garlic and exchanged the amounts for the lemon and orange juice. I also used more cornstarch to fry the chicken as I know from experience it helps create a lighter, crispier texture to fried chicken. All in all your recipe is very good and I will definately try it again. Thanks!

Without a doubt the best orange chicken I have ever had; wouldn’t change a thing. Kudos to you!

Cheers from Tallinn!

Absolutely excellent. My wife was surprised about the amount of brown sugar, so we’d probably cut back a little on that. We made it with the garlic green beans (same website) ( totally awesome just like the restaurant ) and the egg drop soup (same website), but I’d use only 2 eggs for the soup, 5 is too many. Overall, absolutely great.

Thank you for posting this great recipe!

I made this last night exactly as posted except using vegetarian chik’n strips from Trader Joes, and even my ‘meatatarian’ boyfriend said it was DELICIOUS and he couldn’t hardly tell the difference (he eats restaurant orange chicken all the time). Served it with rice and steamed broccoli, the sauce on the broccoli was divine! Next time though I will make the sauce first, then fry the chik’n.

I used this recipie on my boyfriend once, he was skeptical when I said I was going to make orange chicken, he asked me: “like the kind you get from take-out? no one can make that stuff as good as take-out”

needless to say that I proved him wrong, he now requests me to make orange chicken on a weekly basis!!

Tey using fresh oranges and lemons, cut in 1/2, then take a spoon and use to juice and scrape pulp, do same with lemons. this makes the sauce very thick and more flavorfull.
