Sticky Orange Chicken Recipes

STICKY ORANGE MARMALADE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and another oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Blot chicken wing pieces with a paper towel and place in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
• Combine orange marmalade, five-spice powder, sesame oil, avocado oil, ginger, sambal oelek, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a blender; blend until smooth. Add marinade to chicken wings in the bag, squeeze out all the air, and seal. Squish chicken wings around in the sealed bag until well coated with marinade.
• Place coated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack for 30 minutes. Flip and bake an additional 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Broil chicken wings until they sizzle and turn a deep brown color, watching carefully so they don't burn, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with chives and sesame seeds.

STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Set up dredging station: In one bowl, add eggs, and in a second bowl, mix together ½ cup cornstarch and flour and season with salt and pepper. Coat chicken pieces in egg, then toss in cornstarch mixture, tapping off any excess.
• In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat ¼'' oil. Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in orange juice, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Slowly whisk into sauce to thicken and simmer until sauce is syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Toss chicken with sauce and green onions. Serve over rice.

STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN WITH NECTARINES

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl to make the sauce.
• Season flour lightly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips. Dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour; sprinkle more salt and pepper on top.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pour in the orange sauce. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Plate the chicken and top with nectarine slices.

STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
• Salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 15-18 minutes; once tender, drain and return to the hot pot.
• Mash with the cider and cream, then season with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• While the potatoes cook, heat the oil in a cast-iron or stainless steel skillet.
• Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook for 10 minutes, turning once.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate and deglaze the pan with the vinegar.
• Whisk in the marmalade, stock, and herbs.
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and turn it in the sauce to coat.
• Let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes, then serve the chicken and sauce with mashed sweet potatoes alongside.

QUICK AND EASY SWEET AND STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN GLAZE

Steps:

• To make the glaze: In a medium bowl, mix the hoisin, orange zest and enough orange juice so the hoisin is a little looser but still thick enough to stick to the chicken.
• Toss with hot chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds to coat.

STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN WITH PARSNIPS, MAPLE & PECANS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Juice 1 of the oranges and whisk together with the maple syrup, olive oil, vinegar, mustard and cranberry jelly. Cut the parsnips into chunky lengths. Put the parnips, chicken thighs and shallots in a roasting tin - make sure everything can sit in a single layer but quite snug. Drizzle over half the orange sauce with some seasoning and toss to coat everything. Roast for 35 mins.
• Remove the tin from the oven and poke the orange slices in among everything. Scatter over the thyme and drizzle over the rest of the orange sauce. Roast for another 15 mins until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and everything is sticky and golden. Mix in the pecans and cook for another 5 mins. Serve straight away, remembering to scrape out all the sticky juices from the tin, and eat with a mixed leaf salad or some wilted spinach, plus a little rice to soak up the sauce, if you like.
