This was pretty easy to make but it was just ok. It wasn't awful but my family wasn't crazy for it. Worth a try though.

This Orange chicken recipe is WONDERFUL! It blows away anything I have ever had for take out. The flavors are all there. I am a well above average cook and this is the best. I did not change a thing and it came out perfect. I served it over white rice. DO NOT change a thing and simply enjoy

Honestly, I usually don't give bad reviews, but this was not an impressive recipe, especially not for the time it took to make! It tasted like one of those frozen take home asian entrees. I won't be making this again.

Delicious recipe! First time I made orange chicken and it was fab. It definitely helps to marinate the chicken. It was sooo moist. I didn't have vinegar, cornstarch or 100% orange juice and instead used a dash of lemon juice, flour as the thickening agent and orange/pineapple juice. I also put a few drops of sweet chili sauce. I reduced the brown sugar a bit. You will need a lot more oil to fry the chicken though. I placed the fried chicken pieces on paper towels while continuing to fry the rest. I did not mix the sauce with the chicken, as I read in the reviews, it gets soggy. Right before serving, I heated up the sauce and dipped each of the chicken pieces in the sauce. I think topped it off with chopped green opinions. Yes, it does take a little more time to do this, but the presentation was lovely and neat. FYI, it DOES take time to make this recipe. I had a lot of bowls/plates to clean up after, but it was worth it. The orange chicken was YUMMY and was a huge hit. I will definitely make this again!

Yum! Almost exactly like our favorite local Chinese joint. Very tasty, although found the cornstarch to water ratio a little glue-like and clumpy when added to the sauce. At any rate, very yummy, husband loved it - we'll definitely have this again!

This is a beautiful homemade rendition of the orange chicken 'popular in the mall'. I used to work in one of those places and yes this is as close as it gets. I did need to use more oil for frying-you pretty much want to deep fry your chicken pieces. Cannot wait to share this recipe with friends.

Tasted better than any of the Chinese places around us had. I really like being able to actually taste the orange in it. I added a bit more cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and it stuck much better to the chicken. I recommend this to everyone I come across!

I loved this orange chicken recipe. I decided to make this right when I got home from work and didn't have enough time for the chicken to marinate, and it still turned out great. I made it as is and didn't make any changes. Everyone loved it!

AWSOME recipe. My family loved it. My only regret is that I didn't double the recipe because they couldn't get enough.

This is really good. I made it for visiting family and they thought it was very tasty. I omitted the pepper flakes, we don't like spicy orange, but otherwise I followed it exsactly.

Good but not great. Put a little sesame oil in with the olive oil. Flavor was there but needed a bit more - my fault as I didn't marinate long enough. Next time I will and it'll probably be a 4*.

This was very good! I did use chicken broth instead of water, 1/2 of the brown sugar, 1/2 of the corn starch. Yummy

This was an amazing recipe. I didn't think I would ever be able to make orange chicken with what I already had in my kitchen but.. voila! Instead of using orange zest I just added another tablespoon of orange juice and it had a good orange zing to it. Relatively simple, great with fried rice and chow mein which I also made with it :)!

I love orange chicken, this was by far the best recipe ever. the first time i made it i did not make the chicken crispy enough so it was to mushy with the sauce, but even then it was good.
