Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups Frozen Chicken Nuggets
  • 1 cup Orange Marmalade
  • ½ cup BBQ Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Mix them well with a whisk to incorporate all the flavors.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 45 seconds. Once heated, whisk the mixture again until it is smooth and well combined.
  • Take your fully cooked chicken nuggets and pour the sauce over them. Use a spatula or tongs to toss and ensure each nugget is coated with the flavorful sauce.
  • Serve your orange chicken immediately while it’s hot, and place it over a bed of steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcook the sauce in the microwave.
  • Bake nuggets for extra crispiness if desired.
  • Adjust the sauce based on personal taste.
  • Consider adding fresh green onions or sesame seeds for flavor.
