I've made this twice now. The first time exactly was written and it was good. Okay - very good... but I knew it could be better. SO this is what I did: Substituted Pomegranate juice (POM) for half the water and mixed in 1 TBS of Sriracha sauce for heat. Instead of the flour to coat chicken I used corn starch (that makes the chicken a whole lot more crispy and you never have to worry about the coating falling off! I also substituted peanut oil for the olive oil and added a tsp of Sesame seed oil to it for flavor. Now it's 5 star!

The coating is tricky. If you don't feel like dealing with the flour give it a try without. Flavor is very good. Orange flavor was not overpowering.

It was delicious!!! Only modifications: I would use about 2 tablespoons of water per tablespoon of cornstarch, so that the sauce is not as thick or use only 1 tablespoon of cornstarch instead of 3. Also, deep fry the chicken.

Wonderful, glorious! That said, I don't usually have OJ around, so I bought some frozen and used 1/2 T, didn't have ginger and didn't miss it, and doubled the crushed red peppers (know your audience!). After reading other comments, I started heating the sauce w/cornstarch while the chicken was cooking and poured it over when the meat was done. It thickened up on contact. My husband said not to change it at all. Thank you, Harry! Even though I played with it a bit, this is exactly what I was looking for with a great balance of citrus, spice and sweet.

They should really have a 4 1/2 rating. Great recipe. Most of the time for this recipe is making the sauce and the amount of time to marinade. Make sure to use enough flour or the chicken won't coat properly and will fall off. (Happened to me.) Everyone loved this. Made with rice and broccoli. No leftovers. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe was a great start for launching a variation with veggies that I made after perusing other reviews. The end result was scrumptious and turned an entree into a one dish dinner. Changes I made were: reconstituted Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base instead of plain water, a Microplane zester/grater for the orange peel and fresh ginger, garlic press for the garlic, skipped the chicken coating and instead stir fried briefly in a mixture of sesame and olive oils. Stir fried a mixture of 1" sliced green onions, chunked red and orange peppers, sliced baby carrots, snow peas, and sliced mushrooms in sesame/olive oil, transfered to a separate bowl so I could prepare the sauce. (I used original ratio of cornstarch to water with excellent results.) Returned chicken to pan of sauce to simmer as directed in the recipe. Scooped cooked rice on dinner plate, covered it with al dente veggies, then chicken and a spoonful of sauce. Attractive to the eyes and pleasing to the palate!
