While the panda express orange chicken isn't all that authentic these days, a lot of people don't know that it's based on an actual chinese dish.
Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style
My brother's secret recipe for orange chicken was sunny d, ketchup, vinegar,and orange zest.
Ever wish you could get that restaurant-style rotisserie chicken at home? Well, with minimal preparation and about 5 hours' cooking time (great for the weekends!) you can! I don't bother to baste the bird, though some like to for the first hour. The pan juices always caramelize at the bottom, and the chicken will turn golden brown...fall-off-the-bone good!Ingredients | Orange Chicken Tasty Chicken Recipes For Dinner
