    This is a great dish. I did not use the bbq but substituted 1/4 cup sweet red chili sauce instead, super tasty! - 4/14/10

    I used pork too. We really enjoyed this. I think next time I will cut the chicken into bite size and see how that works. - 3/13/08

    Great taste... but this is not a recipe that you can leave all day... My work day is longer than 8 hours and it got dry.... I will make it again when I can cook it fir the right amount of time... - 9/28/11

    I don't like how the recipe claims half a chicken breast is a "serving". I put in considerably less ginger and served it with salad. "Orange chicken" at a Chinese buffet is basically orange jello on chicken - of course this isn't going to be like that! This, however, is very easy to make and tasty. - 7/3/10

    I made this last night. It was good, although I agree with the others that maybe the name should be altered a bit. It doesn't really taste like the orange chicken you're used to. But it was still good. - 4/17/08

    My kids & I loved this recipe. I thought the orange Marmalade was a little tangy for me so I will use a little less next time but awesome!!! I also made it with diced pork for a different taste. - 1/15/08

    I usually pass on the Orange Chicken at the Chinese Restaurants, but wanted to try something different. This was very good. I used regular orange marmalade and soy sauce but everything else was the same. Thanks. - 10/15/18

    I really liked this. It's more like a pulled pork bbq thing than the asian orange chicken, but it's very good served on rice. My whole family liked it. - 2/16/08

    This turned out just OK. It did not have the flavors I was looking for. For me it's not "a keeper". I'm not sure how to tweak it to make it better. - 5/30/21

    This recipe was bad. It looks nothing like the photo they put with it, the chicken was dry as sawdust, the sauce burnt and was just such a weird mixture. Not a fan and will not be making this again. - 2/28/20

    I still prefer my favorite take away locally, but this is a healthier alternative admittedly. I tried the switch as Tulipchick91 did and really loved it. (Swapping out BBQ for sweet chili sauce) - 12/20/19

    Too much barbecue sauce made the flavour very strong and not very orange-y. I cubed the chicken and after 6 hours on low it was very dry. Unlikely to make it into the rotation. - 10/23/19

    This was terrible. The sauce tasted like cough syrup. Definitely NOT worth the calories or the ingredients. Sauce was heavy and not fresh tasting. I even used freshly made orange marmalade. I ate my portion and am still hungry; this chicken was not satisfying. There is surely a lighter and better-ta - 10/7/19
