And I have to admit, it\u2019s probably one of my top ten favorites too. I love the combination of savory and sweet and I\u2019m all about a crispy chicken recipe and this Easy Orange Chicken is the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<p>To start, I added some barbecue sauce, orange marmalade, and soy sauce to a sauce pan and let it simmer over low heat. The sauce thickens up really nicely as it simmers and should be stirred every few minutes to avoid burning.<\/p>\n<p>While the sauce simmered, I chopped up some chicken breasts into small, bite sized cubes.<\/p>\n<p>And then in two small bowls I added some cornstarch and two whisked eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Next I dipped my chicken into the eggs and then the cornstarch and repeated until all the chicken was coated.<\/p>\n<p>In a large frying pan, I added a thin layer of vegetable oil and let it get hot over medium heat. The best way to test if you\u2019re oil is ready is to drop a little flour into it. If it sizzles, it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n<p>Once my oil passed the flour test, I added the chicken to the pan. I cooked the chicken for several minutes on each side and then removed all the pieces to a paper towel lined plate to drain.<\/p>\n<p>After the chicken was all removed and had a minute to drain, I tossed it all into the sauce pan and gave it all a good stir to coat all the pieces of chicken.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a spice lover, now is the time to add in a few red pepper flakes. My kiddos can\u2019t handle any spice, so I leave them out and it\u2019s just as good.<\/p>\n<p>My family enjoys this Easy Orange Chicken over a bed of steamed rice and a side of steamed broccoli. My kiddos, who live by the cardinal no-food-can-touch-each-other rule, enjoy it on a plate, while I pile all of mine into a bowl and mix it all together, spreading the savory sweet sauce all over my rice and veggies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/easy-orange-chicken\/\">EASY ORANGE CHICKEN<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/\">OurHollyDays<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/easy-orange-chicken\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"EASY ORANGE CHICKEN\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dev_MaLy Orange Chicken is one of my husband\u2019s favorite meals ever.
