While it\u2019s true that regular orange juice will work when making Mandarin Orange Chicken, that authentic, sweet-and-savory flavor won\u2019t be quite<\/em> the same as it would it you used true mandarins. For best results, use Pittman & Davis Mandarins<\/strong><\/a> (you can choose from our Honey Mandarins<\/a>, Gold Nugget Mandarins<\/a>, Sunburst Tangerines<\/a> (which are a mandarin variety), or even a mandarin hybrid like our bestselling Golden Honeybells<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Regardless of which fresh mandarin variety you go with, you\u2019ll get a thick, sweet-and-savory sauce with just the right amounts of spicy garlic, ginger and chili coating the chicken with a zesty, vibrant flavor that knocks takeout right out of the ballpark. Easy to prepare and ready in just half an hour, you\u2019ll never want to bother with takeout again!<\/p>\n
