Orange Chicken Qin is a flavorful Chinese-American dish featuring crispy, bite-sized pieces of chicken coated in a tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy orange glaze. Typically made by frying marinated chicken until golden brown, the dish is then tossed in a sauce crafted from fresh orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of sugar or honey for balance. A vibrant favorite in Chinese cuisine-inspired menus, it pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or vegetables. While rich in protein from the chicken, it’s worth noting that the dish is often deep-fried, which adds extra calories and fat. The sauce, while delicious, contains added sugars that may elevate its sweetness. For a healthier twist, it can be baked instead of fried and prepared with reduced sugar. Orange Chicken Qin is a delightful choice for those seeking bold flavors, but mindful portion sizes help maintain a balanced meal.
