Orange Chicken

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I doubled the sauce and it glazed on the chicken beautifully. Unlike other reviews I found this a bit on the salty side, not sweet but I did not use light soy as all I had was regular. I should have used kecap or added a tsp. brown sugar. The orange flavor was intense and we loved that! Thanks for a great recipe.

    Orange Chicken, Crispy, spicy and full of citrus flavor. A Chinese restaurant favorite you can make in your own home., I doubled the sauce and it glazed on the chicken beautifully. Unlike other reviews I found this a bit on the salty side, not sweet but I did not use light soy as all I had was regular. I should have used kecap or added a tsp. brown sugar. The orange flavor was intense and we loved that! Thanks for a great recipe., I tried this last night for my husband and I, but it didnt come out right and was very sweet, but went well with the white rice
