Orange Chicken
The kids and I took a trip to the Richmond Zoo this summer. On the way home my Dad took us to a Panda Express. Now I don't know if it was that we were all starving or that it was THAT good, but we all have been talking about the ORANGE CHICKEN ever since. I researched some recipes and after adding a secret ingredient and crisping up the chicken...we have a winner!
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
1 lb chicken tenderloins, cut into chunks
1 cup flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup seasoned Panko bread crumbs
2 eggs- lightly beaten
Olive Oil/butter for pan
For Sauce:
1 cup BBQ Sauce
1 cup Orange Marmelade
2 TBSP Soy Sauce
2 TBSP Garlic Chili Sauce
Instruction
1. Heat Olive oil and butter in skillet over medium heat.
2. Mix flour and cornstarch together in a bowl. Coat chunks of chicken in flour/cornstarch mixture. Then coat them in the eggs in a second bowl and finally put them in the panko and coat them well.
3. Cook chicken in batches about 4 minutes a side or until cooked through. Add more oil/butter as needed.
4. For sauce combine all the ingredients and pour over cooked chicken.
