Orange Chicken is a simple homemade dish with crispy chicken pieces coated in a glossy sweet and tangy orange sauce. Each bite has a nice mix of garlic, citrus, soy sauce, honey, and a little chili pepper powder for gentle heat. It is a great recipe when you want something flavorful, comforting, and easy to serve with warm rice.

For this recipe, chicken breast is seasoned first so the flavor goes right into the meat. Then, it is coated in a light batter and fried until golden and crispy. The sauce comes together quickly in a pan using orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and honey, then thickened with a cornstarch slurry. Once the crispy chicken is tossed in the sauce, it becomes sticky, shiny, and delicious.
