4 Ingredient Orange Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by whisking together orange marmalade, barbecue sauce, and soy sauce, then briefly heating the mixture to smooth out any chunks from orange rind in the marmalade. The hot sauce is poured over freshly cooked chicken nuggets and tossed to coat them evenly. The melding of sweet orange marmalade with smoky barbecue and salty soy sauce delivers a balanced glaze with citrus notes and umami richness.
The chicken nuggets retain their crispy texture underneath the coating, while the sauce adds moisture and bright flavor. Serving the orange chicken hot over steamed rice creates a convenient, satisfying meal using minimal ingredients and preparation time.
Ingredients
- 5 cups chicken nuggets cooked according to the package directions, frozen
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- In a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Heat in the microwave on high heat for 45 seconds, then whisk the sauce until smooth (there will be small chunks from the orange rind in the orange marmalade).
- Pour the sauce over the fully cooked chicken nuggets (be sure the nuggets are freshly cooked and hot) and toss to coat.
- Serve the orange chicken hot over steamed rice.
