Orange Chicken- Lockdown Cooking Series Video #7

Today is April 22, 2020. We're into our 5th week of the state mandated quarantine! If you're bored out of your mind, you're not alone. Let cook some more yummy dishes. Today's lesson is the delicious and a bit decadent orange chicken. This dish was originated in the Hunan Province of China but was not deep fried and had orange or tangerine peels mixed in. The version I am showing you today is the American version with a thin batter with a bit sweeter sauce. OK let's get woking!!!'
