Panda Express Orange Chicken

When I was in college I had a roommate always get Panda Express Orange Chicken and I always wanted it. But being a poor college student I couldn't afford to get it, instead I found a recipe for it and I think it taste even better and I know what is going in it. It's one of my favorite recipes, but it does take some time to make, but it's so worth it.
