Ingredients for Orange Chicken
Serves 4

  • Oranges: 6 to 8

  • Chicken thighs or breasts: 4 pieces

  • Onion: 1 large

  • Butter: 50 grams

  • Saffron tea: 1 tablespoon

  • Salt and black pepper: to taste

  • Turmeric: ½ teaspoon

  • Sugar (optional): to taste

Recipe for Orange Chicken

Step 1:
First, squeeze the juice from the oranges. For this recipe, we need about two cups of orange juice (French-style cup). Begin by finely chopping the onion, then sauté it in a suitable pot with butter.

Step 2:
Once the onion caramelizes, add turmeric and sauté for another minute to combine the onion and turmeric. Then, reduce the heat to prevent the butter from burning, and add the chicken pieces to the pot.

Step 3:
Cover the pot so that the chicken releases its juices and cooks evenly. After both sides of the chicken are browned, add salt, black pepper, and orange juice to the pot, then cover it again and let the chicken cook through.

Step 4:
Once the chicken is fully cooked, let the sauce thicken. Then, add the saffron tea and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes before removing it from the heat. Serve the dish in a serving plate and enjoy with rice.

Tips for Orange Chicken Preparation
Bitterness of the Dish:

Choosing the right oranges is very important for this dish. Make sure to use juicy and plain oranges. If you use oranges like the Thompson variety, the dish may become bitter. The most important factor in preventing bitterness is choosing the right oranges.

Sourness of Orange Chicken:

If you use sour oranges, some people may not like the flavor. To resolve this, you can add sugar to the dish in the later stages of cooking to balance the sourness.

Sweetness of Orange Chicken:

If the oranges you use are sweet, the dish may end up being too sweet. To balance the sweetness, you can add lemon juice at the end of the cooking process.

Orange Substitute:

If oranges are not available, you can substitute them with orange juice. For a healthier and tastier option, it is recommended to use fresh orange juice, as industrial juice might cause the dish to turn bitter.
