This orange chicken is fabulous. This is a fried orange chicken chinese style but made our way. With an orange buttersweet sauce and caramelized onion. This is the perfect meal for a saturday night when you crave some chinese food.

I really like chicken. It is versitile, like turkey or duck, but richer. This recipe is easy and fast to make, for lunch or dinner. This orange chicken recipe es easy and wuick to make, for a delicious dinner.

We coat the chicken with the flour all at once, to make it practical and easier, but of course you can coat each piece of chicken one piece at a time, but it will take you longer. You can choose to do it the way you want.

We show you how to do it the easy way, for the everyday life. Something fast and tummy. We actually usually make a recipe such as this and eat it that day and the next two days or so, that way we forget about cooking for a few days.

The best thing is to make this chicken and some noodles on the side, or maybe or chinese style fried rice. This combination will make for the perfect chinese meal.

Now, one tip is when making this recipe is to add fresh orange juice and zome zest too, to have all that flavor from the orange come through.
