Orange Chicken

Posted September 17, 2020 6 Comments by alliecarte

Takeout is my absolute favorite cuisine (yes, it is totally a cuisine). Nothing even compares. But when your favorite dishes are a million points (not an over exaggeration), what do you do!? Well, I made my own. And lemme tell you, I haven’t had takeout in years and I don’t even miss it. My orange chicken is in my top two favorite recipes of mine (right behind sweet and sour). It is a fan favorite and probably better than takeout!
