Spicy Orange Chicken

I made wings last week with this sweet & spicy wing sauce while my hubby was out of town. (He doesn’t like meat on the bone… the horror!) My kids and I enjoyed it so much we decided to use that sauce to bake chicken breast so my hubby could try them. It turned out SO AMAZING! I served the breast with lots of the sauce over our favorite fried rice and it was so delicious! I made it pretty mild for our family but you could definitely use more sriracha sauce to fit your heat preference! This also would be a great one to add to your freezer meal rotation!

Spicy Orange Chicken

Ingredients

4 Chicken Breast

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp orange marmalade

2 Tbsp sriracha (or more to taste!)

2 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

Directions

Combine melted butter, marmalade, sriracha, & soy sauce. Pour over chicken in a pam sprayed, foil lined 13 x 9 baking dish. (I forgot foil and it was a sticky mess to clean up!) Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until done and sauce is thick on the breast. I basted and turned the chicken every 20 minutes. Serve over fried rice with lots of the sauce. (Next time I will garnish with sesame seeds after its done. I was out)

*FREEZER COOKING INSTRUCTIONS*

Place chicken in bottom of gallon freezer bag. Combine melted butter, marmalade, sriracha and soy sauce. Pour over chicken. Label, date, add cooking instructions, and freeze laying flat. Allow to thaw for 24 hours in the refrigerator before cooking. Pour bag contents in a pam sprayed, foil lined 13 x 9 baking dish. (I forgot foil and it was a sticky mess to clean up!) Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until done and sauce is thick on the breast. I basted and turned the chicken every 20 minutes. Serve over fried rice with lots of the sauce. (Next time I will garnish with sesame seeds after its done. I was out)
