Chicken
Crispy Chinese-American chicken with sweet-tangy orange sauce - the ultimate takeout favorite.
Last updated
Orange chicken is the crown jewel of Chinese-American cuisine - crispy battered chicken pieces tossed in a vibrant orange sauce that's sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. Sous vide ensures the chicken stays juicy inside while a quick fry creates the signature crispy coating. The result is better than any takeout.
