Costco Orange Chicken

Fan favorite here…Costco Orange Chicken! This Bibigo Tempura Orange Chicken is a great “fakeout” option for make-at-home Chinese food. Chunks of chicken breast cooked tempura style with everyone’s favorite orange sauce…add some rice and [maybe] some vegetables on the side and this is a hit with even the smallest and pickiest of eaters! Costco orange chicken is a crowd pleaser!

What we like about Costco Orange Chicken:

It tastes pretty good
Chicken is better quality than most average take out
We can pair it with healthier sides when we make it at home
It’s MUCH cheaper
No MSG
We know what’s in it
It cooks in under 15 minutes
Easy to keep on hand (freezer meal)
Kid-friendly
Comfort food hits the spot!

What we don’t love about Costco Orange Chicken:

It’s not a good choice for those who need a low sodium diet
Could have better oils in it – FWIW as an alternative to Chinese takeout, we don’t believe that real takeout would have any better oils…but homemade would of course
Once in awhile I get a gross piece of chicken (but same with takeout)

Recommendation

Overall, this isn’t health food I mean lets be honest – it’s comfort food – it’s a money saving alternative to Chinese takeout that cooks quickly, and it tastes good (I happen to love orange chicken).

It’s also family friendly and picky kid friendly, and really I think the main reason to eat this it’s just that it tastes good and not that it’s the highest quality food ever. For a convenience food in this price point I think this tastes good, and recommend it.
