Orange chicken is probably one of the unhealthiest foods you could get when you order Chinese food. Battered, deep fried and covered in a sugary sauce, definitely a no no. Trust me though, this version will blow your socks off. This cauliflower baked orange chick’n packs all the punch! They are crispy, sweet, tangy and totally hit the spot.
