Use a large pan/skillet or wok.
Opt for skinless boneless chicken breast.
Cut your chicken into even, bite sized, pieces. This way they'll cook evenly.
To make this Easy Orange Chicken recipe even easier, you buy frozen popcorn chicken and bake it in the oven, you don't have to go through the effort of cutting up the raw chicken and frying it!
Make sure you have all your ingredients prepped before firing up the skillet/wok, things move fast
If you prefer a milder sauce, you can easily adjust the heat level in this recipe and make it a perfect meal that is also kid-friendly.
Feel free to throw in different veggies.
You can reserve some of the sauce to place on rice.
