Orange Chicken Bowl: 7/10
I was super excited to try this bowl, because I love #TraderJoes original orange chicken. Compared to that orange chicken, this one scored lower for me. You cook it in the microwave, and I don’t think that does it any favors texture wise. The breading on the chicken turned a little soggy and the rice didn’t have the amazing texture that fried rice usually does. The orange sauce had a good flavor that resembles the bagged version, but I wish it was thicker. I would buy this meal again to bring in for lunch or for a quick single serving dinner, but I would much prefer buying #friedrice and #orangechicken separately and cooking it up in a wok. It is $3.99.
Have you tried it yet? What do you think?
@dyl_grey
I agree
@traderjoesfoodreviews this was on sample last night… I was so disappointed! 😞
I microwaved it first and then put it on the stove and it was soooo much better that way!!!
It was awesome, however, 84 grams of carbs. Even on a cheat day that’s a lot, but incredibly tasty!
The carbs 😥
I loved it, but its 84 carbs!!!!
I love it. I thought it is much better than expected. I would just like more vegetables in it.
Hated it. And just saw there are 84 carbs and I want to cry 😭
Way too Much sodium they’re crazy!
This looks yummy 😍😍
Yuck wasn’t a fan of this, it came out super mushy and kinda slimy.
This was a disappointment. I’ll stick to the mandarin chicken and fried rice alone and then combine it lol@
84grams of carbs is ridic
Not a favorite of ours.
@eliijah.c
Right on with your review…
Did not taste good at all, good not finish it. Low quality chicken inside.
SO DISAPPOINTED BY THESE
Maybe try baking or saute-ing
Agreed with you on all… I wanted it to be better.
How could I have not seen this yet is this a seasonal item?
I tried 2 minutes in the microwave and 2 minutes in my air fryer on high, and it was crisp and much better
Haven’t tried this Yet but got it Yesterday
