SPICY ORANGE CHICKEN
My Spicy Orange Chicken has the same flavor profile as its take-out counterpart, Orange Chicken: the sweet orange, the spicy chilies, and the Asian condiments. I make this without oil, making something much lighter and very tasty.

Steps:
- For the chicken: cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and seasoning mix.

- Toss the chicken into the sauce until completely coated. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
