A quick and delicious homemade orange chicken recipe that’s juicier than takeout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Cooked white rice for serving
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until well coated.
  2. In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over it in the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve the orange chicken over cooked white rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For a heartier rice bowl twist, try pairing it with roasted corn and black beans. For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
