Orange Chicken

Orange chicken is a popular Chinese-American dish that is known for its sweet and tangy orange flavor. The dish consists of battered, fried chicken pieces that are coated in a sweet and sour orange sauce. The dish is often served over steamed white rice and is a popular item on Chinese-American restaurant menus. Orange chicken can also be easily made at home using a variety of store-bought ingredients.
