Orange Chicken
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.
Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

I highly recommend Cook’s Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen recipe for Orange Chicken because it’s absolutely perfect and tastes exactly like Panda Express, if not better! I have the recipe in my site here: http://joelens.blogspot.com/2008/04/orange-you-hungry.html

Love to watch your video Kuya. Meron ba kayong video (DVD/VCD), complete selection of your recipes that can be bought in any bookstores.
hi kuya maraming salamat po sa mga recipe niyo lagi ko pong pinapanood ang mga niluluto niyo kasi kailangan kong matutong magluto marami po akong nailuluto dahil sa inyo at gustong gusto ng mga amo ko kahit jewes sila ang sarap daw po ng mga lutong pinoy.Kuya kung may bago kayong recipe pwede pong paki sent ko sa email ko o kaya lahat po ng recipe niyo.Gagawin ko po itong orange chicken siguradong magugustuhan ng mga amo ko.maraming salamat po.
ito hapunan namin kuya vanj at bilib na talaga ang asawa ko sa akin.dko ito natikman kc lumapot kaagad ang sauce pero swak na swak prin ang lasa.pagkatapos kong magluto nag-amoy chinese kitchen ako.hahha.panalo ang lasa nito kuya.salamat ng marami.
madali lang lutuin napagod pa ako sa kaka-pause ng computer. sinasabayan ko kc ang kung pano mo niluluto sa video.kakatamad kc magbasa mas masarap kung me napapanuod.tnx
kuya, thank you po! I saw your videos in Youtube and this website really helps with the measurements of ingredients. Im a new housewife that really doesnt know anything about cooking i mean literally and the measurements really help. Hopefully I can get to that level where I can just toss in the ingredients and measure by just looking. Thanks for your effort, you really saved my marriage! Im down to the point where my inlaws were being to critical expecially of my cooking and I cooked this recipe, and they thought I bought an already made one. It’s okay if they dont believe me, but deep inside I felt a sense of accomplishment for myself! Now my foreigner husband cant wait to go home after a day’s work! You saved me from an impending divorce. Pagpalain po sana kayo at ng iyong pamilya ng Panginoong Maykapal!
´hi kua, try ko lutuin yan sa 1st b-day ng anak ko….. maraming salamat po and i really enjoying watch your vedio…… pls. post some more ricepes….. god bless you…..
helo kuya, i just try cooked this recipe and my husband love it. maraming salamat po. I enjoy watching your videos…….. pls. can i request a mongolian beef recipe ……. GOD BLESS you and your family … thanx again
Hello Kuya. pwede oyster sauce gamitin instead soy sauce? Maraming Salamt
hi chef, pwede po ba gamitin ung calamansi juice or ung lemom juice ? thank u po ng mrmi Godbless.
margie, lemon chicken na ang tawag dyan (hehe biro lang). Sa opinion ko, iba ang kakalabasan kapag lemon juice ang gamitin, Medyo stingy kasi yung asim ng lemon compared sa orange. I tried it once pero medyo di ko nagustuhan but then again iba-iba naman ang preferences natin kaya its not bad to try.
hi kuya! ok lang po ba instead of deep fry i-bake ang chicken after breading para mas healthy? Thanks po sa mga recipes nyo.
Haven’t tried that yet Cathy but you can always experiment. Give us some feedback if it is not so much to ask. Thanks.
thanks po sa recipe! akala ko po b4 mahirap gawin yan un pala ang dali lang … nsarapan nga c papa sabi nya “taatyo n nga ako sa lamesa baka maubos ko pa” hehehe! ang ginamit ko po ung sunkist orange juice un nga lang medyo marami inilagay ko kc matabang ung sunkist…. Thanks po ulet!!!
i did try also fresh orange juice…yun nga lang since first time ko lutuin mejo hindi maganda ang kinalabasan kasi napadami ang cornstarch na ginamit ko,and i did use chicken wings…but nasarapan din ang mga kasamahan ko(sana di sila nagbibiro.thanks po for sharing this recipe..hopefully pag niluto ko ulit perfect na.God bless po
thank you for uploading the video … its easy for me to learn how to cook different menu while watching it. God Bless

i been craving for leche plan, wanting to make a perfect one, so i search for a recipe and stumble on your video in youtube, i will try to make it right now. maraming salamat.
hello kuya! ako ulit ito,! salamat sa recipe mu,kuya tanong kulang,kc hindi filipino ang husband ko,di cla mahilig kumain ng food na my sugar,pwede bng maglagAy ng chilli sa halip na sugar? then fresh orange fruit ang gagamitin ko,kc season ngayon ng orange d2 sa italy,
tnx kuya more power to you and ur family
Doing that will definitely change the taste. I recommend trying recipes with chili such as kung pao chicken of spiced chicken. That is just a recommendation, you can always give it a try and see if you will like the taste. Thanks for commenting. Ingat lagi.
ito ang hapunan ko kagabi, ang sarap!!! meron pang natira, kaya ang ginawa ko naggisa ako ng mga ingredients ng cashewed chicken. hindi ko nilagyan ng rice wine (kasi wala ako sa kusina) kaya tubig na lang at hindi ko rin nilagyan ng cashew nuts. mas dinamihan ko ng gulay lalo na ng brocolli at sibuyas (na mainam sa may hypertension na kagaya ko, ang sarap pa rin ng kinalabasan..thank you talaga, dahil sa iyo natututo akong magluto, sa totoo lang wala akong hilig magluto, kumain lang alam ko, hahahahaha….salamat ulit kabayan !!!!!!
