I really liked this Asian dish. I added 1/4 tsp each garlic and onion powder and loved the flavor of the sauce. It wasn't very "orange-y" for my tastes so I may up the orange juice to soy sauce ratio next time. I think I'll also add some orange zest to really pump it up. Thank you for posting an easy weeknight recipe!

I used this marinade on mini drumsticks I added a little less orange juice less orange juice a ratio of 2/1 of the soy and more honey but it was a good staring place It's a nice liquid content for braising but you have yo watch the heat due to the sugar content

Family and I enjoyed this super easy chicken recipe. The sauce was tangy and slightly sweet. I used fresh-squeezed orange juice and highly recommend it. The sauce is thin and could be thickened with cornstarch, but we spooned it over the chicken and brown rice. So yummy and comes together quickly. Thanks for posting.
