Orange Chicken Sauce

Posted by Alana on

The only time I’ve had Orange Chicken is in those Americanized Chinese restaurants you often find in mall food courts, but I have to admit there’s a time and place where “Chinese” fast food hits the spot. Occasionally I get that craving, and I’ve found it’s easy enough to make Orange Chicken sauce at home. You can fry your own chicken of course, but sometimes I just heat up some packaged fried chicken from the freezer – for when you really want that fast food feel 😉
