I work at a very busy restaurant in Knoxville. I made a batch for lunch and now they want me to make it our dinner special this Saturday night! It's amazing. Now I just have to figure out how to convert the recipe into a gallon of sauce

[@SharonCrowe-wt7tn]

I made your orange chicken for my family’s Sunday supper. Wow it was amazing. The orange sauce is over the top excellent! Everyone LOVED it. There were no leftovers. I felt so proud that I tried this recipe and made my family happy. Thank you John for another wonderful recipe and exceptional instructions. Bravo!

[@altoslushie]

My daughter has anxiety and she loves watching you cook because it relaxes her and makes her feel safe! I bet you didn't imagine that your channel is used for therapy huh? Thanks for being awesome! 🙂💙

[@loisgibson4240]

I have made this 3 times now. Everyone loves it.

[@crazy4orlando2]

I made this today and he wasn't lying when he said you'd want more so go ahead and make a big batch. I used garlic powder and msg in my flour mixture in addition to the salt and pepper. This dish is sweet, sour, spicy and salty. Its so so good.

[@simplyauthentic2022]

As I was making this I felt mine was turning into a disaster. I didnt have all of the ingredients and I ended up making 3lbs of chicken. This recipe is so fool proof it still came out delicious. You have another hit! Thank you!

[@alanclark7807]

John! *Please* stop giving us these yummy recipes! You've made so many of my favorites and added TLC, alternate tips, and splendid humor! So much talent! Thanks for being such a national treasure!

[@stuartbrock7586]

I really like the way people offer suggestions on how to change your recipes to match their tastes or needs; like cutting bite size pieces. It makes cooking less intimidating. It's also so much fun.

[@Mairiain]

I've never had duck a la orange, so I'm game for a recipe so I can try it!

[@halleyturner2326]

I made this recipe and it was amazing! I'm a busy/lazy mom and used some cut up frozen chicken nuggers I had in my freezer as a cheat. A homerun !!!

Made this last night and it was PHENOMENAL!!!

[@katherinekatherine8512]

I just made this. Really excellent. I added lightly steamed broccoli and tossed it all together. A keeper.

[@izodman]

I tried your recipe for my dinner tonight and it was awesome- I added a little extra pepper flakes for a bit more bite. A definite favourite!

[@johncspine2787]

Tropical brand Apricot Pineapple preserves is a secret weapon..excellent sauce for dipping is that, vinegar (white or rice or both) to taste, and a sweet chili sauce to taste, blend, it’s awesome. Best sweet and sour sauce ever. You can also add the preserves to a recipe like this for a flavor boost. Five spice powder is always great in your Arsenal for Chinese food..a bigger steel bowl helps contain the mess.. Start at 375 as it lowers to 350F. Restaurants do a double fry, I found putting them on paper towels or a rack and putting into a hot 380-400F oven for 5-10 minutes gives an extra crunch as it dries out any water that comes out of the chicken and concentrates the chicken flavor, not to mention the crunch!

[@jenniferneil8455]

This is, hands down, my go-to recipe for Orange Chicken. I have tried other recipes, and this one is so easy and delicious!

[@tashalawson2028]

I've made this orange chicken twice this week for my family. In big batches. It's flawless both in texture and flavor. Why must you be so perfect, Mr. Kanell?

I’ve made this recipe many times. It’s so yummy and no proof. You should definitely try this recipe. Actually I am making it again tonight for Ramadan table. My son says he cannot wait to have it tonight. He says it’s the best orange chicken recipe Thank you Preppy Kitchen!🎉

So glad to see this recipe, it's my sons fave! Would love to see your moms duck a l'orange recipe!

I made this today, John, also whipping the egg with the knife, and it was great, served with jasmin rice and bamboo, my better half enjoyed it, but I waisted too much flour in the process.

[@M.o.o.n_Dragon]

I seriously love how easy John makes cooking seem.

[@ElizabethRodriguez-tp3pn]

John, I just recently found your channel and it is truly God sent!. I am from Houston,Tx and I have lived here all my life. Recently my husband got a job opportunity that will be taking us to live in Kingsville,Tx. Kingsville is a lovely city (for me it is more like a town) which does not have many options as far as eating out goes. That is the one thing my husband and I loved doing. We would go out every other week to a new place. We love food! LOL 🤣 This new venture includes me staying at home and with your channel/recipes I am feeling a lot better that I can now whip up some delicious meals/desserts for my husband to try. Your channel is so lovely and love that you always have a smile on your face. ❤

[@ley9649]

I found your videos when I was pregnant and craved everything you made. I’ve learned a lot thanks to you. What I think is hilarious is that my daughter is about to be 8 months but she loves hearing your voice it calms her and makes her happy. We watch your videos almost every morning. Thank you guys soo much❤

[@toniarend9090]

I did your orange chicken last night, according to your recipe this time! And it was beyond perfect!!! So good!! I was still eating it as I was cleaning up!! Best orange chicken ever!!!

[@RodrigoAbrahim]

My wife loves when I cook your recipes. Thank you very much.

[@zocfred]

I made this today and only used 1/4 cup of sugar (as opposed to 1/2 cup) and it came out great. Will definitely make it again ☺️

[@scotto9591]

You asked for possible spice recommendations. In Chinese and Vietnamese cooking, five spice is a very common addition. Besides that, you might had some very fresh grated Ginger.

[@Jondayzz]

I watch every video you make, and I have never clicked on your recipe link before. I am amazed at how great your recipe is! I love the photo showing everything all together, never stop doing that. Take care!

[@sarahalfar2442]

You’re my favorite chef in the entire world and all your videos and recipes are amazing and you always put me in a good mood

[@xsickpuppyyx]

We made this recipe tonight and it was definitely one of the best orange chicken recipes I've used. Much better than the panda express one. I also used half maple syrup and lakonto sugar as a refined sugar substitute and it tasted AMAZING!

[@stuartkinzel8195]

Just finished a plate of Orange Chicken with rice and stir fry vegetables. I used thighs. I was a little worried there wouldn't be enough sauce but it ended up fine. This was so delicious. I might even say AHH-mazing.

Keep cooking with love and continue to inspire. Mahalo from Hawaii!!!

[@bhattyr]

Hey John. I can t thank you enough for posting this recipe. It’s ironic, you live in an area that doesn’t have options for Chinese take out. We live in a big city and all of the Chinese establishments here are TERRIBLE when it comes to orange chicken. I had most of the ingredients on hand and prep work was easy. Thank you for adding a staple recipe to my household that I will be making regularly!

[@stevenalexander4721]

This is very similar to the orange chicken recipe I use. If you wanted to to go all cornstarch on your chicken, you could get a large bowl and with with a spray bottle filled with water, spray the cornstarch letting it sit for about 10 seconds and then toss it and repeat with the water bottle spraying once more. This creates an extra crunchy crust on your chicken because you can fell the little cornstarch beads. If you are more comfortable using your hands that's fine but I love to use chop sticks to coat my chicken and then some tongs to quickly place in the hot oil.

[@paulmaloney2383]

I like the marmalade idea, and l like altering the recipe at times, I've made this dish several times and there a just a few things i do differently, i marinade the chicken with orange juice for 30 minutes, I use brown sugar not white and i fry the chicken light brown then let cool a bit and then refry again it makes it extra crispy and then top with sesame seeds. made it exactly like he did yesterday and it turned out really good

Was tempted when I watched this video Friday so I bought some big juicy oranges and made it for lunch after church today. So delicious! We really enjoyed this! I have celiac and can never eat Orange Chicken in restaurants, so it was so wonderful to make this for myself using gluten free flour and Braggs Aminos in place of the soy sauce. I love your videos, John. Thank you very much 🍊 😊👍🏻🧡 I did the clean hand, chicken hand ✋🏻 too 😹

[@enkisdaughter4795]

I’m in the UK and also have cœliac disease, Kikkoman do a gluten free soy sauce / tamari sauce and it has a blue top.

[@patches1589]

I made this today. It was truly delicious. The only complaint I had was everyone wanted an extra bowl of sauce on the side! I did use my Fry Daddy to cook the chicken only because I suck at pan frying. I did 5 batches total so the chicken was very crunchy. Well worth the time.. Yum! Going to try your Butter Chicken next!

[@mariajoannou9936]

John - you asked in this vid for suggestions on seasoning the chicken before the second dredging; I am a big fan of 5 spice powder, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in the sauce would be worth a shot. It's such a wonderful blend of spices that compliments almost everything!

Instead of mixing the chicken by hand, I used a gallon size Ziploc bag and put the flour mixture in first. Then I added the chicken and I was able to shake as well as finger each person piece to make sure there was coated with flour. It became a visual adventure adventure/was easy to make sure that all the pieces were well coated without your hands becoming a mess.
