Ingredients
Chicken
- 5 cups frozen chicken nuggets
Sauce
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- ½ cup Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Garnish (Optional)
- Green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and cook chicken nuggets: Preheat your oven and cook the frozen chicken nuggets according to the package instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the orange sauce: In a medium-sized pan or skillet, combine the orange marmalade, Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened.
- Coat the chicken: Once the chicken nuggets are cooked, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Pour the warm orange sauce over the nuggets and stir gently to coat each piece evenly with the sauce.
- Serve: Serve the orange chicken over cooked rice or noodles, and garnish with chopped green onions if desired for added flavor and a pop of color.
Notes
- You can use fresh chicken pieces if preferred, but cooking time may vary.
- If you want a spicier sauce, add a pinch of chili flakes or sriracha when heating the sauce.
- For gluten-free, ensure the soy sauce used is gluten-free.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
