Orange Chicken is bae. Who would win in a battle between Orange chicken and Lemon chicken?

[mariteri]

I think I get why you made this such a simple recipe {for the beginning cooks), but you left out so many things! Where's the rice wine vinegar, the sesame oil, and the ginger?

I really like the music playing in the background

[sriontimaitra]

This recipe doesn't have any proper aromatics in it :/ No garlic fried into the sauce, no ginger, no spring onion cooked into it - orange zest and a flavourful batter can't make up for an unspectacular base sauce smothering the meat. Plus, the syrupy sauce seems way too sweet. Not convinced for once :/ Come on, Tasty, you've got wonderful chefs who know Asian/ Asian-American cuisine well and could improve on this!

[ekraainan]

[Regulo]

Did anybody else like that background music?... just asking

[bluoctopus]

do people actually know that there's no orange chicken in China unless it came from America because it was invented in America to "suite" the public's taste like fortune cookie and so many other famous "Chinese" food

[burakORAKC]

Eating Panda Express rn ORANGE CHICKEN IS BAEEE🤘🏾😂🍲💕

Panko is for chicken tenders lol. I make a really good batter when I do Chinese or Korean chicken.

3 parts corn starch
2 parts self rising flour
salt, pepper, white sugar, any other spices.. add cold water until it's thick enough to thoroughly coat the back of a spoon. Fry chicken once at 300 for 4-5 min, then again at 375 for 3-4 min.

Battered, deep fried, thick sweet sauce.typical Americanized stuff.
