Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup Soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup Orange juice

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by cooking your chicken until it reaches a pleasing crispiness. This step is essential for that delightful texture, so set it aside when done.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, simmer the orange marmalade, soy sauce, and orange juice together. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once your sauce has thickened, add the crispy chicken to the pan. Gently toss the chicken in the sauce until every piece is well-coated in that glossy glaze.
  4. Briefly cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze clings beautifully to the chicken and turns a brilliant, appetizing hue.
  5. Optional: Serve over fluffy rice or crispy noodles for a delightful twist.
