Main Ingredients

  • 5 cups frozen chicken nuggets cooked according to package directions
  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 2 BBQ sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. This helps to soften the marmalade, making it easier to mix.
  • Whisk the sauce until smooth, even if there are small orange rind chunks from the marmalade. This adds a lovely texture to the sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the freshly cooked and hot chicken nuggets. Toss the nuggets in the sauce until evenly coated to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
  • Serve the delicious orange chicken over steamed rice while it's hot. The rice will soak up the flavors beautifully, making each bite delightful!

Notes

For a zestier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
