Quite nice; but for ours and our kids' taste; needed a bit more brown sugar and orange zest/juice. Considering the taste and complexity of flavours; though; quite a good recipe; will likely make it again (served it on vermacelli noodles with some added veggies (mushrooms, bell pepperss, carrots, celery, and onions.)) Would probably try it on steamed white rice next time; though. Thanks for the great base recipe! Work with it and adjust it to your own tastes...

this was amazing! i used pineapple juice instead of water and canned ginger instead of fresh. turned out great! make sure to add the cornstarch a little at a time, i had clumps because of adding too much at once. I will double the sauce next time!

I have a recipe for orange-beef that I hold in high esteem. When I saw this recipe, I thought I wouldn't enjoy a chicken version as much. Wrong-o! This is really great. The sauce is fantastic. I skipped marinating, dredged chix in cornstartch vs. flour, and blanched some cauliflower and red pepper, drained, and added to chix and sauce and served over rice. There is plenty of sauce to add some veggies to if you desire. Spectacular!

Made this pretty much to the recipe, except that I doubled it, used boneless chicken thighs and added a pack of mixed frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. I fried the chicken in batches, and when done put them in a 350 oven to stay warm and crispy. With 3 teenagers, by the next morning there was not a piece left. They all exclaimed how good it was - even better than Chinese takeout.

This was better than the mall! I stuck to the recipe except I only had 1/2c brown sugar so I added honey. As others suggested, I added the sauce on top of the fully cooked chicken at plating which kept it nice and crispy. I dissolved about 2 tbs+ of cornstarch in 2 tbs more orange juice.

Good, but a little too citrusy for me too. Definitely reduce cornstarch and cook the chicken separately and just pour the prepared sauce after it's thickened.

Very nice. Next time I'll a some veggies like others suggested. I'll probably increase the peppers and top with sesame seeds.

I have been searching for a good Asian Orange Chicken recipe and this is excellent. I only changed a few things because of flavors that I like. I put in Red Chile Sauce for sweet but hotness and I put in more orange zest, juice and ginger for my liking. You can taste it as you make it, which makes it nice. I added some veggies to the sauce while it was boiling (5-7 minutes) and then thickened the sauce. Everyone loved it!

Made a lot of changes, but that's just my way. To summarize everyone else: don't combine sauce and chicken till the end, cook vegetables separately if wanted (I would), try adding sesame oil (but not more than 1/4 tsp because it's strong), marinading is unnecessary. Also the amount of lemon juice seemed a little much, so I added about half the amount and it was still too much for my taste. Besides all that, the sauce was tasty and indicative of the cheap carryout. Of course it's not going to taste exactly like it because many of those smaller joints deep fry their chicken and use a premade sauce they order from the "Asian Foods" company (which is why it all tastes similar) unless it's a more upscale place.

I made this today for my fiance and myself, and I have to say it was great! The only change I made was I added broccoli to the sauce. In the future l will definitely take the advice of several reviewers to use sesame oil and ALSO I will put the chicken in the oven after frying then pour the sauce on after its cooked so the chicken stays crisp (my only complaint was that the chicken lost all its crispy coating in the sauce). Orange chicken is one of our favorites to order when we go to an asian restaurant and I have to say this recipe is just as good as some of our favs! I should mention that I didn't have enough time to marinate for the full 2 hours, so with just over an hour in the fridge marinating the chicken still soaked up all that great flavor! Not too zesty not too sweet, I will definitely be making this again in the future!

Yummy! I think I can skip the marinating time next time I make this to save up on time. The sauce is flavorful enough for the chicken! :)

This is another fav that I cook for my family! I slice up oranges and soak them in sugar, then put them in when the dish is served. It just adds that extra flavor. If your sauce is too runny, then simply add an extra pinch of corn starch, after boiled. The ginger adds a great taste! Serve it up on some fried rice with carrots. Sauce is creamy and rich. This is making me hungry. Also, battered my chicken in tempra to give it that authentic Asian feel. You can buy it at your local asian mart.

This chicken is amazing. I added 2 tbs cornstarch and simmered 1/2 lb thawed mixed frozen veggies with the sauce during the simmer time. I kept the chicken warm in the oven at 200C and then added it to the dish at the very end to avoid losing the breading. Next time I'll try sticking the breading on with some egg.

Wowzers!! This is soo yummy! I also added 2 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbls water, and don't heat the chicken in the sauce...! It's best to keep the chicken heated and then add the sauce to coat nicely! You will not be disappointed!
