How to make Orange Chicken
This is a low-fat alternative to the typically deep fried, flour-dredged orange chicken recipe. All that aside, this dish is fast, easy and delicious over hot steamed rice.
- In a large skillet, heat oil and fry garlic, white part of green onion, orange rinds and chili pepper flakes until fragrant.
- Add chicken and brown. If your skillet is too small, you'll want to do this in batches to make sure the chicken pieces brown and not steam.
- When chicken is tender with a nice brown coat, add sauce mixture and allow to bubble and thicken (happens almost immediately). Allow to darken in color as sugar caramelizes, then remove from heat. Sprinkle with remaining green onion and sesame seeds and serve over steamed rice.
- Serves 4-5.

LimeRevolution saysVery delish. I marinated the chicken in OJ for an hour before and I added some OJ to the sauce. Justin Case.
