3-INGREDIENT ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and seasoning mix.
• Dredge the chicken pieces in the egg wash and coat evenly with the flour mixture.
• Heat the oil in a medium-sized (about 12 inches) cast-iron skillet or frying pan. Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken onto a serving plate lined with paper towels.
• Make the sauce: wipe the pan clean and add orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Let the mixture simmer on medium heat, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Toss the chicken into the sauce until completely coated. Serve with rice. Enjoy!

ASIAN ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour 1 1/2 cups water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce into a saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Stir in the orange zest, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chopped onion, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and cool 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place the chicken pieces into a resealable plastic bag. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag. Reserve the remaining sauce. Seal the bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• In another resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the marinated chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken into the skillet, and brown on both sides. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels, and cover with aluminum foil.
• Wipe out the skillet, and add the sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; stir into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium low, add the chicken pieces, and simmer, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
