Chinese Orange Chicken is a popular dish inspired by the flavors of Chinese-American cuisine. It typically features crispy, bite-sized pieces of chicken that are battered, fried, and smothered in a sweet, tangy orange glaze. The sauce is made with orange juice, zest, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, and ginger, offering a bold combination of citrus and savory notes. While its vibrant flavor and crunchy texture make it a crowd favorite, it is not without drawbacks. The frying process can contribute to high levels of fat and calories, and the sugar-rich sauce boosts its carb content. However, it provides protein from the chicken and small amounts of vitamins from the orange components. Alternatives such as baking the chicken or reducing sugar in the sauce can make it a more nutritious option while retaining its signature taste.
