Orange Chicken Kabobs Recipes

GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine Maggi sauce (or soy sauce), orange juice, orange zest, vegetable oil, garlic, white pepper (optional), and black pepper. Stir well until combined. Add chicken breast and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight). You can also store the marinated chicken breasts in a sealable ziploc bag.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, and reserve the marinade. Thread the chicken onto skewers, adding about 6-7 pieces of cubed chicken breasts for each skewer. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before you thread the chicken on and grill to stop them from burning.
• Lightly brush olive oil over grill or grill pan. Preheat the grill over medium high heat for 3 minutes until the oil starts sizzling and shimmering. Place the skewers spaced evenly apart on the grill and grill for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F. Do not overlap the skewers at any time to ensure even cooking for all the skewers.
• Place the reserved marinade into a small cooking pot and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes, until it starts to boil. Add cornstarch and stir continuously with a spoon to dissolve, until the sauce starts to thicken and forms a smooth and thick sauce. You don't need much sauce, a tablespoon is plenty for coating the chicken.
• Transfer the skewers onto a plate and drizzle with the orange sauce.

ORANGE CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, and honey.
• Place the chicken pieces in a ziptop bag, pour in the marinade, then tightly seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Turn and lightly squish the bag to coat the chicken. Set the bag in a shallow baking dish (to protect from leaks), then let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or place in the refrigerator to refrigerate longer or overnight. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 1 hour prior to grilling.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high, about 425 degrees F, or an indoor grill pan to medium high. Slice one of the oranges into thin, 1/4-inch-thick rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Cut the onion and bell pepper into 3/4-inch-thick chunks. Slice the second orange in half and set the two halves aside.
• Thread the chicken pieces, onion, bell pepper, and orange slices onto skewers, alternating each ingredient. When adding the orange slices, fold each slice in half and thread the skewer through both layers.
• Generously oil the grill, then place the skewers on the grill. Cover and let cook until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning the chicken once or twice throughout so that it cooks evenly. Remove to a plate, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and cover to keep warm.
• Place the cut sides of the remaining orange halves on the grates and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until nicely charred. Do not move them during the first 2 minutes to ensure the flesh does not tear. Let cool slightly, then squeeze over the chicken skewers. Sprinkle the skewers with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

ORANGE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRIED STICKY RICE BALLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then transfer to a medium bowl, cover with water, and soak for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
• While the rice is soaking, marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the orange juice, chicken stock, orange zest, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. 3. Transfer half of the marinade to a large bowl, setting the rest aside.
• Add the chicken thighs to the large bowl of marinade. Toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
• Drain the rice, then add to a heavy-bottomed pot with the water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. 6. Remove the pan from the heat, keeping covered, and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the rice into 20 1-inch (2 ½ cm) balls, then place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• Add the reserved marinade to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce by half, about 4 minutes.
• Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and the water in a small bowl, then add to the reduced marinade and whisk to combine, until the sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the remaining ⅓ cup (40 G) cornstarch, the flour, and salt.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the flour mixture. Toss until well coated.
• Leaving ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of space at the top, alternately thread 2 rice balls and 2 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, allowing them to touch.
• Fry the skewers in the hot oil, a few at a time, for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Brush the skewers with the sauce.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Take out about 3/4 cup of the mixed sauce and set aside for later.
• Chicken thighs in the package usually look like the are rolled, lay out the rolled piece of thigh meat on the cutting board and cut it in three equal pieces. (It's easier to cut and skewer the thigh meat when they are rolled.) You can cut off some of the fat first if you wish.
• Add all cut thigh meat to the prepared sauce in the bowl. Mix well and let it marinade while you prepare the coals (15-20 minutes).
• Roll up each long thigh meat strip and skewer it onto skewers. (If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for 30 minutes first.) You should be able to fit 5-6 pieces of meat per skewer.
• Cook chicken kebabs on the grill, flipping them half way through, until the meat is done.
• For the coating sauce: use the sauce that you've set aside. Mix it well and bring to simmer either on the grill or on the stove. If using the grill to heat the sauce, make sure to use a small, thin, metal pot. Cook the sauce, stirring often until it is thickened. Take off heat once thickened.
• Generously brush cooked chicken kebabs with cooked orange sauce.

Steps:

• Toss all the ingredients together (except the whole orange). Marinate for 30 minute.
• Alternate the chicken and poblano chile pieces on wooden skewers ( if wooden -- soak in water for 30 minutes) season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the skewers on a preheated grill over moderate flame and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into one inch cubes; set aside.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a glass bowl and whisk together well; add chicken cubes and stir to coat chicken with mixture.
• Cover and marinate in fridge for up to 12 hours (can also be marinated at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes).
• Thread chicken cubes loosely onto metal skewers (bamboo skewers can be used, but presoak in cold water for 30 minutes so they don't burn).
• Broil (or do on bbq), turning so all sides brown, for approximately 10 minutes total-- the chicken should not be pink inside.
