Panda Express Orange Chicken- At Home


I love my asian food and I love Panda Express! Here in Idaho good asian food is real hard to come by! So ever since I got married I have tried to find ways to satisfy my asian cravings when I can't just go out and get some. This recipe can be really long and hard but if you get a good system down it can go easy and smoothly.

Ingredients
Boneless, skinless, Chicken breast cut into bit size pieces
Flour
Cornstartch
Canola oil
Orange Chicken sauce

Mix about 2 parts flour, 1 part cornstarch in a bowl. Toss Chicken in flour mix. I use a metal wire strainer to shake the mix and rid all excess flour leaving nicely floured chicken.

Heat enough oil in a deep sauce pan so that the chicken pieces will be barely floating or that they are practically submerged. (about a half inch)
Place chicken in the pan so that they are spaced evenly though-out the pan. Then- LEAVE IT ALONE! I have a hard time with this part (I always want to stir it). Let it sit for a while boiling until you notice most of the pieces are floating, then stir a little bit until all of the pieces are golden brown. Then remove from oil.


When I first started developing this I had to make my own sauce from scratch! It sucked.... But lucky you! Panda Express now sells their line of sauces at the grocery store! Toss the chicken with however much sauce you like!

Yum Yum!

That looks so yummy. I've never had orange chicken - I'm really not an Asian food fan {I know, I know, crazy sauce!} - but I do love sweet and sour chicken. I might have to try this sometime!
