Easy Orange Chicken
This is my cheaters version of orange chicken, as I very rarely have fresh oranges in the house. It comes together really quickly and is a great family friendly meal.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by placing some oil into a large, deep skillet just above medium heat. You want enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet by about 1/4" or so. While it heats up, cut the chicken into small, bite-sized chunks. Place them into a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Pour in the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Then seal the bag and shake it up to evenly coat the chicken.

In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set it aside. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer... you might need to cook the chicken in batches. Fry for 5-6 minutes per side, until they are starting to brown and are cooked through. Remove them to a towel lined plate. Once all the chicken is cooked, empty the oil from the pan, wipe it out and return it to the burner.

Place the chicken back into the pan and pour the sauce over the top. Stir it to evenly coat the chicken. Let it come up to a simmer for a few minutes to thicken the sauce slightly, then serve.

Slow Cooker Orange Chicken Slow Cooker Orange Chicken
I used to make this on the stovetop all of the time. I liked it, but it was too, too sweet at times.Taking a chance, I took my recipe for slow cooker General Tso's chicken, switched out the hoisin sauce and used orange marmalade instead.It is perfect. The curry powder offsets the sweetness and makes a nice balance. I also use aminos acid, instead of soy sauce. It is so much better. Nicer flavor.You can coat the crock pot with oil, but you really should use a liner. It gets very sticky.Enjoy!
