Orange chicken stir fry is a classic takeout dish that can be easily made at home in just 30 minutes. The secret to the dish is in the sauce, which is made with a combination of orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and ginger. The chicken is then coated in a cornstarch and flour mixture and fried until crispy. Once the chicken is cooked, it is added to the sauce and stir-fried until heated through. Orange chicken stir fry is typically served over rice or noodles, and can be garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped peanuts.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled or frozen orange juice concentrate, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked, or it will become tough. Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a good quality orange marmalade. The orange marmalade is what gives this dish its sweet and tangy flavor. Make sure to use a good quality orange marmalade that is made with real oranges.
- Serve the orange chicken with rice. Orange chicken is traditionally served with rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice.
- Garnish the orange chicken with green onions. Green onions add a fresh, flavorful garnish to the orange chicken.
Conclusion:
Orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With its sweet and tangy flavor, orange chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
