I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the chicken. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The orange chicken was good, but I found the sauce to be a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time I'll add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken breasts that I shredded and used in this dish. It turned out great!

I've tried many orange chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and sour.
