One Orange will serve you with the required orange skin and pulpy orange juice.
You don’t need to get packet orange juice except if you intend to skip the orange skin, but to achieve the orange chicken flavor you will need the orange skin to make a real copycat panda express orange chicken.
You can choose to adjust your orange chicken flavors by using variations of ingredients such as regular sugar or palm sugar instead of brown sugar.
Yet, I don’t suggest to tinker too much with the ingredient amounts (mentioned in the recipe card further below) as these are perfectly balanced that way.
Tip: Add a sprinkle of Chinese five spice to the orange chicken sauce for a little flavor kick of a different kind!
