I'm not usually a fan of orange chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce was perfectly balanced and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again!

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing! I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll experiment with different ways to cook the chicken.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was bland and the chicken was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right. I would not recommend this recipe.

Not bad! The sauce was tasty and the chicken was cooked well. I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker, but overall it was a good dish.

Meh. It was okay. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the chicken was a little dry. I think I'll stick to my usual orange chicken recipe.
