If I could give it zero stars I would. It is a bad combination of ingredients, nothing could make it better. I ended up eating the chicken by itself with rice. I make many recipes off of allrecipes.com, and this is the first one to disappoint.

This turned out quite nicely. I used no sugar added Marmalade. Perhaps regular would have given the dish a bit sweeter flavor. But for diabetics it is the best solution. Will certainly have this recipe again. Over a bed of rice with a greek salad very good.

Well, I love orange chicken but the original posted recipe just isn't even close. Sorry Sarah, but I have to agree with the other reviews - it's not good. I tried to salvage it by adding very liberal doses of brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic powder. Had to then thin it out with water. Substituted boneless chicken with frozen popcorn chicken and added a bag of frozen Chinese veggies. Mixed in cooked white rice too. After all that it was okay -edible at least- but still maintained a slightly bitter after-taste.

I didn't care for the flavor of this. It was rather bland almost flour tasting and the orange flavor wasn't sweet but more bitter due to the marmalade. Overall, not too crazy about it. Also the appearance was not appealing. It looked like a beige paste with lumps of ckicken.

The orange sauce on this chicken was terrible. My family could not even eat it.

I made this for dinner tonight and while the dish is very quick and easy to prepare with ingredients on hand out of the pantry, it was pretty boring. The flavour wasn't that great, but I did change a few things. The recipes says to cook the chicken, but in what? In a dry pan? Not the best idea, so I added a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to the pan and browned the chicken in that. Instead of using orange marmalade, I used apricot preserves. I also cooked the flour, if you don't do this you will have a nasty tasting mess in the end. I think if you're going to try this dish, you should add some garlic and shallot (or onion), and make sure you season the chicken. With these changes, it might be alright...but I doubt we'll find out I'm afraid.

i think it was good, but not like the resturants. my best recomendation is to add brown sugar. if you need thin out the sauce alittle too, to balance it. but the sauce should be thick like @ the chinese resturants. But it made a good meal and most of my family liked it.

This recipe is fabulous! I've made it for friends on many occasions, and I've never had a dissatisfied customer. When I make it, I add 1/4 cup of soy sauce to tame the sweetness/orange flavor. I also use two skillets and cook the chicken and sauce simultaneously. Oh and to the geniuses who complained about the taste of orange peel, how about you STRAIN THE SAUCE before serving it? I always look forward to cooking this dish!

Sorry, but this really didn't suit our tastes. The orange marmalade made this too sweet & the sauce was too runny. I won't make this again.

I wish I could give this recipe a better rating but I'm afraid I was disappointed. Don't expect this recipe to make the kind of "orange chicken" you find at Chinese restaurants-- this chicken was a flour-y, goopy mess that my family wouldn't even eat. I'm sure some people would enjoy it, but not if you're expecting what you get at restaurants. I'll have to keep looking to find out how to make Chinese-style orange chicken.

OK--so I stole this tip from Rachael Ray... it occurred to me that the complaints could be because the flour didn't have a chance to cook. I sprinkled the flour over the chicken drippings and let it rest for a minute, then stirred in the chicken stock. After it thickened a bit, I stirred in the marmalade and lemon juice. It turned out to be pretty tasty!

Oh my GOD!! This was awesome - I did however make a few changes. Instead of broth and flour I used a can of "cream of chicken" soup. I used red pepper flakes instead of regular black pepper and I added a bit of whole garlic(minced) and soy sauce. I also used apricot preserves as well as orange marmalade. It was better then Panda Express!!

I was expecting the "Panda Express" type or Orange Chicken - so this was not what I intended to make. Rating for what it was supposed to be though - it was still not one that my family raved about. For us..it was just so so.
