I cooked this dish on my Big Green Egg in a wok. It was delicious and the orange sauce was great. I served it with vegetable fried rice. This recipe is much better than any takeout Orange Chicken..

My husband and I both enjoyed this recipe. I served it with steamed rice and brocolli. My husband said he would definitely eat it again. I took the advice of other reviewers and cut down on the amt of brown sugar quite a bit. I think I wound up using just over 1/4 C. We also sauteed the chicken, rather than frying it, but both agreed we would fry it next time to have the little extra crunch. Overall, very good and would recommend!

my family Loves this dish! it is so great! my husband likes me to double the sauce part of the recipe though. the panko breadcrumbs make this dish, i think. it just wouldn’t be the same if you simply dipped the chicken in flour and fried it. thanks for sharing!

I made this for my mother-in-law’s birthday, and then her partner’s birthday because they loved it so much. It made a third curtain-call when my husband suggested it for a Friday-night dinner, and now he won’t get takeout anymore! The chicken turns out beautifully. I’ve been adding toasted sesame seeds to the finished dish, and garnishing with lots of sliced scallions. It’s incredible served with edamame beans. I agree with others about lowering the brown sugar- 1/4c is plenty for the standard recipe- the first time I made this, it was just a hint too sweet.

Amazing dish – great flavor! We served it with the sauce on the side for dipping. Recipe makes a large amount of sauce, so you could definitely cut down on the quantity. Like many others, we made with steamed brown rice and broccoli…so yummy! Making it for dinner guests tomorrow night!

A little time consuming to make but so worth it. I couldn’t believe that I had made this myself when I first tasted it!

This is amazing. I served it with broccoli and brown rice. The family ate it up! It made a lot of chicken so we had left overs for lunch!

OH MY! The sauce, the SAUCE! A perfect blend of sweet and spicy. I did what the others said and decreased the sugar to 1/4 cup and it was wonderful. My test piece of chicken didn’t turn out good. The panko fell off and it looked nothing like the picture. So we coated the remaining chicken in cornstarch and fried them till golden and crispy. It really was better than takeout! Thanks for sharing!

This is EXCELLENT! I served it over brown rice and my entire family loved it. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 is that it is somewhat difficult / messy to make. It’s not the type of thing I could whip up after work – but that’s just me. I’ll be making this for special occasions or Saturday dinners for years to come!

This recipe lives up to its name: definitely better than every takeout place where I live! The sauce is so flavorful and the panko crust has the crispiness that I crave for in orange chicken. This is going to be my new go-to recipe for sure when I crave take out!

Definately going to add this to the recipe box and give it a try. Yum this would be great with chicken fried rice or regular rice for that matter. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this last night and it was great! We are trying to watch our calories, so I did cut the sugar in half and sauteed the chicken instead of frying but it was still wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe!!

This is Yuuummmmyyy!!! I didn’t actually fry the chicken as directed, instead, I coated it with the cornstarch and did a quick sauté in a bit of oil (trying to be a little more healthy I omitted the eggs, breadcrumbs, and the majority of the oil – I also skipped the soy sauce (not a big fan of it)) and served it over jasmine rice. This one is a keeper! Thank you for sharing.

I made this last night and it was delish! But there is way too much sugar in the original recipe. I used only 1/4 cup for a serving of 4 and it was plenty. I served it with steamed broccoli and rice.
Thanks doll,

we had this for dinner tonight and it was great! the only suggestion i would make would be to double the sauce recipe– we loved it!

Made this tonight and loved it! Used 1/2 the brown sugar and added some sriracha sauce into the sauce at the end of the cooking. I also used arrowroot to thicken it in the end instead of corn starch because I ran out of corn starch. Served it with white rice and steamed broccoli.

Fabulous! I made this per the recipe (except I used white sugar & molasses instead of brown sugar, which is the same thing), & there were no leftovers! Next time I’ll have to make a double batch of the sauce just so I’ll have some extra around for an “emergency” dipping sauce!
