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!
