About Orange chicken

Orange Chicken is a popular dish originating from American-Chinese cuisine, known for its sweet and tangy flavor profile. Made by coating bite-sized pieces of chicken in a light batter and frying them to golden perfection, the dish is then tossed in a thick sauce typically made from orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, ginger, and garlic. While Orange Chicken is loved for its bold flavors and crisp texture, it is generally high in calories, sugar, and sodium due to its fried preparation and sugary sauce. On the plus side, the chicken provides protein, which supports muscle growth and repair. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or serving smaller portions can help balance the dish’s nutritional profile. Though indulgent, Orange Chicken remains a treat for many who enjoy the fusion of Asian-inspired flavors.
