Orange Chicken with Light Sauce is a savory and tangy dish inspired by American Chinese cuisine. It features crispy, battered chicken chunks tossed in a lighter version of the traditional sweet and citrusy orange glaze, offering the perfect balance of flavor without being overly heavy. Typically, the light sauce is made with a combination of orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and a reduced amount of sugar or honey for a milder sweetness. While this dish provides protein from the chicken, it is often deep-fried, which can increase calorie and fat content. Opting for a baked preparation can make it a healthier option. The light sauce reduces added sugars compared to the classic recipe, making it a slightly more balanced choice for those monitoring their intake. Pair it with steamed vegetables or brown rice for a more nutrient-rich and satisfying meal.
