Classic orange chicken is an Americanized Chinese fast food classic that consists of cubed pieces of chicken breasts that are breaded and deep fried, then coated in a sweet, sticky orange sauce.

You’ve got to use it pretty quickly or else it will go bad. If you store cilantro in the fridge, it will keep fresh for a good 7-10 days.
