This is my low calorie version of certain fast food chains Orange Chicken. Most of the ingredients are to taste , but this will give you the basic idea. Ingredients:
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate |
1/3 cup soy sauce |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
2 -3 minced fresh garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon sesame oil |
1/8 teaspoon chili flakes |
3 -4 chicken pieces (i prefer breast meat) |
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish) |
1/2 tablespoon orange zest (for garnish) |
Directions:
1. Combine orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and chili flakes in a bowl.
2. Add chicken pieces (either cut or whole).
3. Marinate 4-6 hours minimum (you get more orange flavor the longer it marinates).
4. *For whole chicken pieces, it can be grilled on a BBQ or in a skillet.
5. *For cut chicken pieces, it works great as a stir-fry over rice. (NOTE: for cut/smaller pieces of chicken, marinate for for closer to 2-3 hours).
6. Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds and orange zest, serve and enjoy.
