Tarragon-Orange Chicken image

Based on a recipe from BH&G's Wok Cuisine cookbook. As originally written, this recipe seemed a little bland so I increased the tarragon from a 1/4 to 1 teaspoon and added a tablespoon of tarragon vinegar.

This was my first time making tarragon orange chicken and it was a success! The chicken was crispy and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would make it again, but I would adjust the cooking time.
