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
- Combine orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and chili flakes in a bowl.
- Add chicken pieces (either cut or whole).
- Marinate 4-6 hours minimum (you get more orange flavor the longer it marinates).
- *For whole chicken pieces, it can be grilled on a BBQ or in a skillet.
- *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).
- Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds and orange zest, serve and enjoy.

This is a very good home made orange chicken. I did not see the marinade time so I boiled my chicken then cooked in the marinade and it turned out well. I could use it a little sweeter but there is so much individual taste that you have to decide what you like. I will try it with less sesame oi land soy sauce next time. Thanks for this Lori.
