Orange Chicken Day is celebrated all across North America.
Orange Chicken Day can be celebrated by anyone!
Orange Chicken Day was first started on the 15th of June, 2017.
Orange Chicken Day was founded by National Orange Chicken Board.
At its core, orange chicken is a sweet and sour chicken dish, which is a very popular cooking profile in China. Due to the nature of the dish, there are conflicting claims of who designed it. Even its historic influence from the mainland of China is varied, both culinarily and geographically. There is a brief timeline of these variations given below.
While there are no specific customs associated with this day, the most popular thing to do is grab your loved ones, go to one of your favorite Chinese restaurants, and order the dish of the day!
Use the day to delve deeper into the delicious cuisine and try something completely new, experiment with the spice level, order a dish you’ve never heard of, or try a completely foreign flavor combination!
The easiest way to celebrate this day is to go out and grab some orange chicken takeout to eat.
You can even look up various recipes online and cook them yourself, roping in friends and family to help with the cooking. If you’ve already mastered this skill, you can broaden your horizons by experimenting with the flavors of China, including more dishes. Be sure to use the freshest produce and stick to traditional cooking methods, however, for the best results!
It is a day to celebrate the mouth-watering sweet and sour orange chicken dish!
It would be more appropriate to call this dish Chinese-American because it is an Americanised recipe that only borrows some elements from authentic Chinese cuisine.
Although equally delicious and made with the same meat, these dishes are completely different. Therefore the two days celebrate two vastly differing foods.
Orange Chicken Day was established in 2016 by the National Orange Chicken Board.
