Everyone loves Orange Chicken, deep-fried battered chicken in a sweet and tangy orange sauce made famous by Chinese restaurants.

I love the regular orange chicken but deep-frying battered chicken is such a mundane kitchen chore, so I changed things up a bit and make it into a simple skillet honey orange chicken recipe that takes only 20 minutes and no deep-frying.
