“Made this tonight and it was soooo delicious! Deep frying is scary, but it was well worth the risk! The sauce was the best sauce I have ever had with orange chicken--I used Sumo oranges and it had wonderful orange flavor. My husband and I had to stop ourselve” — a cook, 5.0★
“This Chinese Orange Chicken is so good. It's definitely my new fave! Glad I got to get all my needed authentic Asian ingredients in Karman Foods. I used a low-sodium soy sauce as alternative and I reallly love its lighter side. Will surely be cooking this agai” — a cook, 5.0★
