Orange Chicken Recipe
Orange Chicken is a dish of American-Chinese origin. There are claims that this recipe originally came from Hunan (a province in china) and was modified when brought here in North America for the purpose of adapting to the American palate.
In my opinion, Panda Express makes the best Orange Chicken. Though it is a fast food chain, most of their dishes are far better than the one’s served in restaurants.
This is not the original Panda Express recipe but rather a regular variation similar to the one’s served in Chinese buffets ( just added green onions to make it more appealing). I also minimized the ingredients to make this a budget friendly recipe fit for those who want to practice a frugal way of living. I will try to make our future recipes as budget friendly as possible so please stay tuned.

Pretty good recipe on its own! I tried it yesterday and made some minor adjustment accdg. to my liking. I did’t have green onion so I used chopped fresh parley instead. It came out really good and my husband said I should keep this in my keeper’s menu! It’s very easy to make and so tasty!!!
I cooked this for lunch today, super delicious! Thanks for the recipe, I just added 1/4 cup water to reduce sweetness. And I also added 1 tsp cornstarch diluted in 1 tbsp water.
