Orange Chicken, a tangy and sweet orange sauce with a spicy kick is a perfect dish for an impressive weeknight dinner or weekend treat. The double fry method ensures the chicken pieces stay crispy, while the freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, and soy sauce create a balanced sauce with a bit of heat from red pepper flakes. Garnished with fresh chilies, scallions, and sesame seeds, this dish is perfect over steamed rice and delivers a restaurant quality flavor in the comfort of home.

Cashew Chicken with Broccoli and Sugar Snap Peas is a quick, flavor-packed dish perfect for weeknight dinners. Tender chicken breast is lightly coated in cornstarch for a golden, crisp finish, then stir-fried with vibrant broccoli and sugar snap peas. A savory-sweet sauce made from hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger ties everything together, while crunchy cashews add texture and a nutty richness. Finished with a sprinkle of scallions and toasted sesame seeds, this dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making it both satisfying and wholesome. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice for a complete meal.

One of our favorite takeouts when we are in New York, General Tso’s Chicken . My recreation of this delicious fake away is our new family favorite. It’s a sweet and spicy sauce that is filled with crispy chicken.
