    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.

    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!

  • @UncleFrankDrinksWine

    Contrary to what many people believe, orange chicken actually comes from China, not America! The original dish is called "chun pei" and is made with diced chicken, dried orange peel, and other spices, and is a classic dish from Hunan province. Chinese immigrants adapted the recipe to suit American tastes, and it became popular in the 1980s when it was introduced to the menu of the Chinese-American fast food chain, Panda Express. Nowadays, orange chicken is still inspired by traditional Chinese cooking and can be found in many Chinese restaurants, often with their own unique twist on the recipe. The dish's evolution is a great example of how cultures can influence each other, even through something as simple as food.

Im still an uber noob & was wondering if you could clarify something: when deep frying, do you take the temp of the oil all the way to 325F ( first fry) then drop in the chicken or do you try to over temp then when the chicken is added lowers to 325F? I brought the oil to 325F, added the chicken ( in batches) & 5he temp dropped almost 100 degrees. Thanks & love the vids homie!

    Just before i watch the whole thing.
    Chinese resturant style sweet and sour sauce i accidentally figured out making sweet peppers and onions for a sweet and hot philly cheesesteak - red bell pepper sliced long and super thin, pad of butter start to sautee with a pinch of MSG - then 3 2 1 in terms of parts, I find one tbs with single portion parts after your red bell peppers - 3 olive oil, 2 grenadine 1 lime margarita mix.
    Sautee down until the liquid thickens - the pepper adds the solids you find in sweet chili sauce... and I know what your thinking... "you said resturant style sweet and sour, not spring roll sauce?!?!?"
    Their the same, the only difference is red chili flakes, start adding with a pinch and adjust - you can't take the flakes out, you can always add more.
