Homemade Orange Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by Chinese-American cuisine, combining crispy battered chicken with a tangy-sweet orange glaze. Made with fresh ingredients like orange juice, ginger, garlic, honey, and soy sauce, the sauce delivers a vibrant citrus punch without relying on artificial additives. The chicken is typically coated in a light cornstarch or flour batter and pan-fried or baked, offering a slightly healthier alternative to deep-frying. While the dish provides protein from the chicken and vitamin C from the orange juice, it can be high in sodium and sugar depending on the sauce preparation. Pairing this dish with steamed vegetables or brown rice can add fiber and balance its nutritional profile. Homemade Orange Chicken is a delightful way to enjoy a restaurant favorite with healthier, customizable ingredients tailored to your preferences.
