  The sauce is good, a little spicy. My husband and I just made this recipe. We used barilla multigrain thin spaghetti noodles. We also pan fried the chicken without the flour (just light extra virgin olive oil). Oh we added onions, bell peppers (red and green) delish! Thanks for sharing! - 8/20/10

  This was very good! It was very spicy, and I only used about a teaspoon of red pepper flakes, so be careful! Thanks for the recipe! - 3/3/11

  Sooo much better than the fast food chinese. Left the breading off the chicken, used fresh squeezed orange juice, and used half the pepper. I used to be known for failing at Chinese chooking, but tonight I have been dubbed the chinese food master!!! Thank You!!!! - 3/29/11

  This was very good even though I messed it up. I tried reduced the sugar to half thinking it would save me some calories. DON'T DO IT. I ended up adding the remaining sugar to the pan during heat up instead of it cooking into the sauce. I will definitely make it again as directed. - 11/19/13

  This is absolutely my fav orange chicken recipe! It taste so much like take out, you seriously won't miss the real stuff. I always use lower sodium soy sauce (brings recipe down to 740mg instead of 1,145mg). I'm also going to try and use 1/3 cup of sugar instead of 1/2. Thanks for a great recipe! - 10/20/13

  LOVED this recipe...I love that I know everything that I am putting in my body when I eat this. I used all fresh ingredients for the sauce. My husband raved about it at work and my son was begging for more. No more Chinese takeout for this family! - 9/21/11

  OMG! My roommate and I thought this was incredible! I had calculate the calories twice b/c I couldn't believe that I wasn't cheating on my diet! I used whole wheat flour to make it a little healthier. Also, there was WAY too much sauce. Next time I will halve the sauce and I'm sure it will be plenty - 2/4/11

  My Husband almost fell over himself he loved it so much. Was asking when we were going to have it again. I used brown rice and threw it in with the chicken so all the rice had the sauce. YUMMY! - 1/22/11

  Made it. Delicious! Added chopped garlic, and sauteed carrots, broccoli, and baby corn and made it a Stirfry. Sauce coated all of it, perfectly. Served over jasmine rice. Next time, though, I will omit the flour. It wasn't necessary, in my opinion! - 5/25/21

  Great recipe! I made this tonight, adding some fresh grated ginger at the end. Hubby loved it and so did I. Replaced the white sugar with 1 tbsp of brown to cut sweetness. Awesome! - 3/25/16

  Made this with brown rice and broccoli. Once the sauce was done, I mixed it with the chicken, rice and broccoli so that everything was coated in the sauce. I also used half a tablespoon of red pepper flakes. This recipe is great!!! - 2/7/15

  This was simply AMAZING!! I've never eaten organge chicken but this dish was simply heaven on a plate. I didn't add the chili because i don't do chili but followed the rest to the letter. The best! I think the sauce could work for just about any meat really :) - 10/7/14

  Delicious. I used white whole wheat flour. The only thing I added was a sliced scallion (green onion) atop the finished dish. It looked like a professional restaurant dish. - 2/7/14

  I didn't have any orange juice in the house (and no desire to wait until after a shopping trip to make it) so I substituted lemon juice and it worked! Yummy. - 3/4/13

  I gave this 5 Stars for the sauce alone. I wonder though if you could coat the chicken and bake it (turning on occasion). It might reduce the oil? My 19 year old college student loved it. - 2/28/13

  I substituted orange juice with pineapple juice and rice vinegar with lemon juice an cut back on sugar. Turned out great, my boyfriend loved it so much that he took me on a day trip at the countryside just when we finished lunch! :) Thanks! - 2/26/13

  Made this recipe exactly as stated and it was fantastic. My family loved it and my 5-year-old told me it was the best dinner she ever had. We will definitely have this again. I'm also going to use this recipe as the basis for lemon chicken. Thanks for posting this! - 10/22/11

  This was AMAZING!!! I did not "bread" the chicken, just pan fried. I added steamed broccoli and carrots, and put it all over brown rice. The sauce was easy to make, and delicious. I thought the amount of sauce was just right. - 3/10/11

  I enjoyed this very much; as did my family. I didn't have red pepper flakes so I just used red pepper. I think the flakes will add a different kick next time, but I will definately eat this again! - 1/24/11

  The recipe was a little too spicy for our taste. However, it makes a very good meal aside from the spice. We will be making it again but halving the amount of red pepper. - 10/27/10
