Hi everyone,

I tried this Insane Crispy Orange Chicken Idea today, and I must say, I absolutely love it, it’s too delicious. 

Instead of using orange juice (as per the recipe), I substituted and used 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and I added some chili flakes and as well as a tsp Masada, so go ahead and try this out and let us know what you think of this Insane Crispy Orange Chicken Idea.

  2. I made this yesterday for our evening meal. My batter was egg free though because my Little Miss Nine has an egg allergy.
    She’s starting to become more adventurous with her food so I was delighted that she enjoyed this with us.
    We also cooked the rice in the left over chicken stock and added finely chopped red pepper. That’s as adventurous as we got with that part!
    So all in all, a very successful Insane Orange Chicken dinner!
