Easy Orange Chicken Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n- Popcorn chicken:<\/strong> Frozen popcorn chicken makes this recipe a breeze. Use chicken nuggets or chicken tenders (cut into bite-sized pieces after cooking) for a similar crispy texture.<\/li>\n
- Canola oil:<\/strong> This neutral cooking oil<\/a> has a high smoke point, making it perfect for stir-frying veggies like the carrots in this popcorn orange chicken recipe. Canola is one of the best healthy oils<\/a> to keep in your pantry.<\/li>\n
- Carrots:<\/strong> Thinly sliced carrots contribute sweetness and a crisp texture to this easy orange chicken recipe.<\/li>\n
- Garlic:<\/strong> Freshly minced garlic<\/a> adds a punch of flavor to this dish.<\/li>\n
- Orange zest and juice: <\/strong>The chicken gets its signature orange flavor from orange zest and juice. For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice (strain out the pulp). When zesting the orange, be sure to avoid including any of the white pith, which has a bitter flavor. Wash the orange before zesting, and zest before juicing.<\/li>\n
- Hoisin sauce:<\/strong> Made from fermented soybean paste, this dark brown, sweet, savory, salty sauce is a staple for Cantonese cuisine. Use this Asian sauce<\/a> in stir-fries, as a glaze or in marinades.<\/li>\n
- Sugar:<\/strong> A little sugar balances the saltiness of the hoisin sauce.<\/li>\n
- Seasonings:<\/strong> The sauce is seasoned simply with salt and pepper. A dash of cayenne pepper adds just a touch of heat.<\/li>\n
- Cooked rice: <\/strong> Serve rice alongside this orange chicken recipe for an easy meal. Cook the rice<\/a> using your favorite method, whether on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. The aromatic and lightly floral flavor of jasmine rice<\/a> is particularly well-suited to this recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nEasy Orange Chicken Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Pile on the veggies:<\/strong> Before making the sauce, stir-fry broccoli florets or thinly sliced red peppers along with the carrots to amp up the flavor (and nutrition).<\/li>\n
- Spice it up:<\/strong> To add a little heat to this dish and deepen its flavor, add one or both of the following: 1\/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1\/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger.<\/li>\n
- Give it a garnish:<\/strong> Top each serving with freshly chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Easy Orange Chicken<\/h2>\n
Leftover popcorn orange chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Note: The texture of the popcorn chicken is best fresh and will probably become less crispy over time.<\/p>\n
How do you reheat orange chicken?<\/h3>\n
For the best results, reheat leftover orange chicken in a pan on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through. You can also reheat popcorn orange chicken in the microwave.<\/p>\n
Easy Orange Chicken Tips<\/h2>\n
![\"Easy](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Easy-Orange-Chicken_TOHD24_73206_JonathanMelendez_06.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\")
Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCan you use other types of chicken for easy orange chicken?<\/h3>\n
Absolutely! You can use fresh boneless chicken breast or chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch or flour seasoned with salt and pepper before pan-frying for a light crust.<\/p>\n
This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Simply cut leftover chicken breast or thighs into 1-inch cubes and use that instead of the popcorn chicken. Or, if you don’t have any leftovers on hand, you could always use cubed grocery-store rotisserie chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\nHow can you thicken easy orange chicken sauce?<\/h3>\n
If you’re short on time, the easiest way to thicken a sauce<\/a> is to add a cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir together. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and whisk until it begins to thicken.<\/p>\nWhat can you serve with easy orange chicken?<\/h3>\n
Of course, fluffy rice is the best thing to serve with an easy orange chicken recipe, but you can also create a full takeout meal at home with Chinese food recipes<\/a> like Asian green beans<\/a>, sesame soy broccoli<\/a>, easy fried rice<\/a>, glass noodle salad<\/a> or tofu salad<\/a>. You can also use popcorn orange chicken in wraps or on top of a crisp and crunchy salad.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This takeout-inspired easy orange chicken recipe features crispy chicken and a sweet, tangy orange sauce.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Bake the chicken<\/h3>\n
Bake the popcorn chicken according to the package directions.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots. Cook and stir until tender, three to five minutes. Add the garlic and cook one minute longer. Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, hoisin sauce, sugar and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, four to six minutes, stirring constantly.<\/p>\n Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat. Serve with rice.<\/p>\n Leftover popcorn orange chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Note: The texture of the popcorn chicken is best fresh and will probably become less crispy over time.<\/p>\n For the best results, reheat leftover orange chicken in a pan on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through. You can also reheat popcorn orange chicken in the microwave.<\/p>\n Absolutely! You can use fresh boneless chicken breast or chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch or flour seasoned with salt and pepper before pan-frying for a light crust.<\/p>\n This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Simply cut leftover chicken breast or thighs into 1-inch cubes and use that instead of the popcorn chicken. Or, if you don’t have any leftovers on hand, you could always use cubed grocery-store rotisserie chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you’re short on time, the easiest way to thicken a sauce<\/a> is to add a cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir together. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and whisk until it begins to thicken.<\/p>\n Of course, fluffy rice is the best thing to serve with an easy orange chicken recipe, but you can also create a full takeout meal at home with Chinese food recipes<\/a> like Asian green beans<\/a>, sesame soy broccoli<\/a>, easy fried rice<\/a>, glass noodle salad<\/a> or tofu salad<\/a>. You can also use popcorn orange chicken in wraps or on top of a crisp and crunchy salad.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This takeout-inspired easy orange chicken recipe features crispy chicken and a sweet, tangy orange sauce.

I had to dice chicken breasts, coat them (flour, cornstarch, s&p) and bake them with a little oil to get popcorn chicken. (I didn't have hoisin sauce, but after reading the other comments, I wouldn't have added it anyway.) I used garlic powder, brown sugar, orange juice (but no orange peel), red pepper flakes, s&p, and sesame seeds. After the carrots simmered a while in that, I stirred cornstarch into more OJ and thickened it. I strained the carrots out and served them separately, and I poured the sauce over the baked chicken pieces and served it over brown rice.

The hoisin sauce overwhelmed the orange flavor. Apparently, my family just doesn't like that particular flavor of Asian cuisine.

I made this recipe and used fresh chicken breasts that I cut into 1\" pieces. Why? Because I am highly allergic to MSG and most pre-packed foods have that in them in one form or another - so I tend to cook from scratch most of the time. And I also don't want to end up in the hospital. The dish was delicious. I baked the chicken pieces into into little popcorn chicken pieces as DDPLoeches said she did. I also did nix on the hoisin sauce and used soy sauce and that worked out fine. I served the carrots on the side with white sticky rice. The carrots were almost as big a hit as the chicken.
