Recipe View Serve: Serve the Orange Chicken Stir Fry hot over a bed of crispy chow mein noodles. Garnish with extra orange zest or sliced green onions for added visual appeal and flavor.

For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a portion of the orange sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your preferred level of sweetness.
If you don't have chow mein noodles, the stir fry can also be served over steamed rice or quinoa.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the orange sauce.
Tapioca flour provides a glossy finish to the sauce, but all-purpose flour works well as a substitute.

    The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for a beginner cook like me. The tip about marinating the chicken was great – it made the chicken even more flavorful!

  • Pamela Gutmann

    I loved how easy it was to make and the sauce was perfectly balanced. I used brown rice instead of noodles for a healthier option, and it was still delicious.

  • Elisa Mcdermott

    Fantastic recipe! I added some ginger to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor, and it was a hit. Will definitely be making this again.

  • Gideon Abshire

    This recipe is a game-changer! The orange flavor is so fresh and vibrant. My kids, who are usually picky eaters, devoured it!
