BETTER THAN TAKEOUT ORANGE CHICKEN



Better Than Takeout Orange Chicken image

I got this recipe from http://kitchencomments.blogspot.com/ and altered it a bit. I absolutely love it! It is soo much better than any orange chicken I've had from a buffet or restaurant. It can be a little time consuming, but its so worth it. I've made extra sauce (before adding the cornstarch) and froze it. Then all you have to do is thaw it out and add some thickener when you want some more! I did add more cornstarch to the sauce than it calls for because I like my sauce to be thicker. Served with asian style broccoli and rice!
