  • This Orange Chicken recipe is just spot on my friends, the double fry allows it to stay at the perfect level of crispiness and the batter really protects the chicken from drying out in any way, 11/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND and HAPPY COOKING to you all!
  • @MLHunt
    My son only ever gets orange chicken or General Tso's chicken when we get takeout. I sent him this recipe. It might be enough to get him to cook lol.

    My 6 year old Daughter (Finn-Riley) has been watching you with me for over a year. She just begged me to "say hi to Sunny" and tell him "if you know you know." She has been cooking with me for a while, but ever since she found you she watches you cook at least an hour a day, has her own chef jacket now, and every time she hears the word rosemary, even from another room, she yells IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW. Just wanted to say thank you, not only for some great recipes, but more for being an inspiration to all types - including a budding 6 year old chef.
  • @JediMasterSap
    That fridge battle was epic!!!! Oh and the chicken looked delicious too 😂
  • @MatsBengtsson
    You are the sole reason I've put on 10 kilos so far this year. Love the new me!
  • @Anteater23
    Your spice mix is very popular in UK and is called ‘Salt and Chilli’. Used for Salt and Chilli chicken or salt and chilli chips.
  • I made this tonight for dinner and enjoyed it very much. The texture on the chicken was great. It’s just like Chinese take out chicken fingers, crispy and airy. As he says in the video it kept the inside of the chicken extra juicy. I have made a few different orange chicken sauces and this is my new favorite. This was the first recipe of yours I have made and I’m excited to try others!
  • @CP-bt4lm
    Please share measurements for spice mix mentioned @ 3:14. Thanks!
  • You have easily become my favorite Youtube chef, and I watch a lot of Youtube Chefs. Thank you dude.
  • @nikil428
