Orange Chicken Homemade is a flavorful dish inspired by Chinese-American cuisine, featuring crispy chunks of chicken coated in a tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy orange-flavored sauce. The chicken is typically coated in a light batter and pan-fried or deep-fried until golden brown. The sauce is made with fresh orange juice, zest, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of sugar or honey for sweetness. While the dish is rich in protein and contains the natural vitamin C from oranges, it is often high in calories and sugar due to the sweet sauce and frying method. Opting for baked or air-fried chicken and reducing the sugar content in the sauce can make a healthier version. This homemade recipe puts control in your hands, allowing you to enjoy the bold, citrusy flavors of Orange Chicken with adjustments to meet your dietary preferences.
