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.
