    Orange Chicken Recipe

    This is a popular chinese dish that can be made within 30 min. It has a lovely orange flavour and taste in it. Crispy chicken pieces that are glazed with a sweet orange sauce..YUM YUM.

    This dish is mild in taste and it has a little sweet taste to it, which was perfect. When I came across this recipe, I thought “What orange in a chicken curry? That must be ridiculous. But once I made this dish, I was completely blown away.

    This dish tempted me to cook more Chinese food like Lemon chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Hot and Spicy Chicken. I will surely make these soon and post it. 

    How to Make Orange Chicken

    1. Mix the ingredients given for batter with water till it forms a batter. Dip the chicken pieces in this and fry till golden. Set this aside.
    2. Heat oil and fry some garlic and ginger.Add orange zest and fry for 30 sec.
    3. Add in soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, pepper, salt and sugar to taste.
    4. Add in a cup of water and bring that to boil.
    5. Slowly add in the cornflour slurry and mix well till the sauce thickens.
    6. Add in the fried chicken pieces and toss well.
    7. Garnish with coriander leaves or spring onion and some orange pieces.
    8. Serve hot over a bed of hot rice. ENJOY.

      That sauce sounds so delicious and nowhere near as sickeningly sweet as it is when you buy it from a take-out place!
