There could be many reasons why you might not want to deep fry. You might want to eat something a bit lighter, or like many of us on the Delish team, you are a bit lazy and don't want to go through all the setup and cleanup. Well this Baked Orange Chicken is just as delicious and savory-sweet as the original without the added effort or calories. Serve along fluffy white rice and some delicious broccoli or bok choy for a fantastic weeknight meal.
