Orange Chicken 4 Ingredient
Orange Chicken
The nuggets have a sweet and tangy flavor from the combination of marmalade and BBQ orange chicken sauce. When it comes to Chinese food, this meal is always a crowd favorite, especially with picky eaters.
Ingredients:
- Large bag of frozen chicken nuggets – boneless, skinless, chicken nugget breasts
- Orange marmalade – found in the jelly aisle of the grocery store
- BBQ sauce – we recommend Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.
Since the marmalade is sweet, I suggest avoiding a sweet flavored BBQ sauce. - Soy sauce – a popular cooking ingredient and condiment!
- Green onion – for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven and bake the frozen chicken nuggets according to package instructions.
- Allow the chicken nuggets to cool while you prepare the tasty sauce.
- In a medium-sized frying pan or skillet, add orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce.
- Over medium-high heat, warm the orange sauce for 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Once the sauce is hot, it will make the cooked chicken breast pieces hot again.
- Pour sauce on top of the cooked chicken nuggets.
- Toss and stir the nuggets in the sauce mixture until the chicken pieces are coated evenly.
