Best Orange Chicken
A friend of mine used to work at an Asian restaurant and she passed the recipe on to me 😁
I prefer using boneless skin-on thighs cut in chunks, but you can use any cut of chicken!
This is best served with rice or noodles
By the way, no salt is used in this recipe, but the flavor is so awesome you won't miss it!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Dredge chicken in flour and fry lightly until just golden -do NOT use salt- then cover to keep warm and set aside...if you are using bone-in chicken the frying process will take a lot longer and frankly I don't recommend it
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice and honey, whisk in the mustard and onion powder and Worcestershire...cook on medium high heat until it begins to bubble
- 3
Make a slurry of the cornstarch and a little cold water, stir into the sauce and continue cooking for a few minutes. You may need to add another teaspoon of slurry -the goal is to thicken the sauce so it coats the back of a spoon
- 4
Add the cooked chicken and turn to coat..I like to let it stay in the sauce long enough to get medium hot
- 5
And there you have it! There is plenty of sauce to both coat the chicken and have enough to drizzle over rice or noodles...ENJOY!! ❤️❤️

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.

The highlight of my menu today is this, involving crisp, fried chicken bites smothered in a wonderfully sweet and tangy orange sauce. There is a bit of prep work involved here but at the end of the day, nothing beats homemade, right?

CRISPY Orange Chicken CRISPY Orange Chicken
This recipe is great because the chicken won’t get soggy after adding the sauce. The sauce has just enough orange flavor that’ it’s not overpowering.You will have some leftover sauce too

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!
