Orange Chicken Recipe (Orange Peel Chicken)
Ingredients:
1/2 pound chicken breast (cut into bite-size cubes)
5 dried red chilies (cut into 1.5 inch length, seeded and soaked in warm water)
1 teaspoon minced orange zest
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 inch ginger (minced)
1 stalk scallion (use the white part only, cut into thin threads for garnishing)
2 teaspoons oil
Oil for deep frying
Orange Sauce:
1/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
3 tablespoons canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
5 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon white pepper powder
1 teaspoon corn starch
Salt to taste
Frying Batter:
1/2 cup water
2 oz. all-purpose flour
1 oz. corn starch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 egg
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 small pinch of salt
Method:
Mix the orange sauce ingredients and set aside.
Mix the frying batter and dip the chicken meat into the batter. Heat up a pot/wok of cooking oil. When the cooking oil is hot enough for frying, drop the chicken pieces into the oil and deep fry them until they turn golden brown or crispy. Transfer them out onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
In a wok, add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil and quickly stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger until aromatic. Add in the dried red chilies and toss around until you smell the spicy aroma. Follow by the minced orange zest and then chicken. Quickly stir the chicken around before adding the orange sauce mixture. Continue to stir-fry until the sauce thicken. Dish out, garnish with the scallion threads and serve immediately with steamed white rice.

Lala we make it all the time because I don’t like to purchase restaurant foods. It’s DELISH!
Just wanted to drop by and thank you for a great orange chicken recipe. I modified it recently to use up the last of my tangerines, and it was delicious! Will be writing a blog post about it tonight. :)

I have always enjoyed your website.
Very easy-to-follow recipes and I have tried both your sweet & sour pork and orange chicken recipe.
Fabulous and my husband loves it.
Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more of your posts.
Hi Bee,
Love your recipes, but I can’t get the link to work for this tempting orange chicken! Can you please check?
Just made this. Actually, just dipped in a flour and cornstarch mix instead of using the batter for the chicken, but used your recipe for the sauce and for how to finish with the garlic and ginger saute. I tripled the sauce because I had a pound and a half of chicken. And I forgot to add the chicken broth, woops. Turned out yummy! Wasn’t that crispy though, so maybe I’ll try your batter next time.
I am at your website, but I don’t see the recipe for orange peel chicken. Could you please email it to me?

Rasa Malaysia is my favourtie website. Your recipes are simple and make interesting meals.As a Muslim I cant eat pork. What beef cut can I use as a substitue for pork loin chops? Would appreciate if you could suggest appropriate substitutes for your pork/ham recipes in future so that Muslim readers don’t miss out on trying your recipes. Thanks

Personally I would use chicken as a substitute for pork rather than beef, but if you would rather use beef, I’d go for a lean cut like slices of tenderloin.
I have tried four or five recipe. They are all amazing and yummy. Most are very easy to make. I absolutely luv your blog and look forward to my next fave recipe. I also use your recipes when I want to impress my guests. thx so glad I stumbled upon this.

This dish didn’t come out good for me. The chicken ended up mushy with the batter falling off the chicken and scattered in the sauce, not good. What can I do to avoid this and have a crispy chicken? Would it be better to add the chicken after the sauce have been thickened? The chicken appeared to be crispy prior to adding it to the other ingredients.
Yes, you can, you can fry the chicken twice to make it crispier.
I’m a fan of The Big Bang Theory TV series, and in there Sheldon often orders Tangerine Chicken, thats the reason I searched for that or Orange Chicken recipes because I never had it before.
Now I’m grateful that I have found your site, I love all types of Asian cuisine so I will come here often to try out something new!
this recipe looks easy & delicious, orange chicken/lemon chicken are 2 of my favorites!
however im trying to minimize the fried food my family eats (plus i hate the time, waste & mess of deep frying). Have you ever modified this recipe to work with plain stirfried chicken rather than deep fried? If so, how did it work? I know some modifications simply don’t translate.
SO glad to have found this awesome site! I have mnade several dishes and have yet to been disatisfied! Really enjoyed the Orange Chicken… used prebreaded popcorn chicken..( thought i had fresh :( ) but still turned out delish!!!
How many serving can this recipe make?
Chinese dry-cured hams have been recorded in texts since before the Song dynasty and used in myriad dishes. Several types exist in Qing dynasty cuisine and are used in dishes of stewing hams.
