Chicken with orange is an exquisite dish of Chinese cuisine that combines tender meat with citrus freshness. Marinated in kefir, it gains softness and richness of flavor, while the orange sauce adds a subtle sweetness with a hint of acidity. This dish reflects the tradition of Chinese gastronomy — a balance of flavors and textures. Garlic, mustard, and soy sauce complement the composition, adding spiciness. Baked in aromatic sauce, the chicken becomes juicy and melts in the mouth. Chicken with orange is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family gathering, blending comfort and sophistication of Eastern cuisine.
