Chinese Orange Chicken

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/xjp252h https://www.justoffbase.co.uk/uncategorized/ifj2ygkwi AND THE WINNER IS…. (see below for “giveaway” winner.

I made cauliflower rice with this dish but any kind of rice would be wonderful.

https://masterfacilitator.com/6woy4x5f1 Chungah at Damdelicious.net blog uses simple fresh ingredients to make elegant easy meals. She had two chicken recipes I found interesting so I merged them into one. I love eating Chinese food and I use to make it more often. I have been wanting to use some of the beautiful chop sticks (washable ones, of course) that I ordered for a friend’s ‘China Going Away Party’ a year ago and I thought this recipe with its larger cuts of chicken would work great with my little sticks of art.

https://serenityspaonline.com/j2w2dki7a One of Chungah’s recipe is fried and the other is baked. I made the chicken nuggets as suggested in Baked Honey Garlic Chicken but liked the ingredients in the Chinese Orange Chicken. So, I took pieces of each recipes and changed the technique to suit what I wanted the outcome to be — a non-fried Chinese Orange Chicken.

https://www.ngoc.org.uk/uncategorized/future-events/r24u9nfsac Dam Delicious has some beautiful recipe and you should spend a little time over at her site looking at some of her things. She definitely inspired me to cook up some Asian flavors.

Update: So, I’m hoping this new recipe card format is working out. Looks like you can leave a comment for the blog (which is at the bottom of the post) or if you try the recipe you can leave a comment or review about the recipe. Hope you will try both.

January 31 I did a polenta, cornmeal giveaway and all you had to do was leave a comment in the comment section. I only had two comments and if I had had 2 bags of polenta and 2 of the cornmeal, I would have given them both bags. Wish I had bigger “give aways like some blogs have but I don’t”. Both the ladies that left comment live in The Woodlands, so I can just deliver in person. I have a cool little Eiffel Tower grater I picked up in Paris and that may be the next giveaway I do in the future.

    https://serenityspaonline.com/q6544uhckt I often spray my pinko bread crumbed bake meats with olive oil spray. I find this works better then the drizzle. Love your recipes and your blog. Brings back many fond memories of good times spent with you and your family.

      Gena, I don’t know why I didn’t spray. I have two spray bottles made for oils and they were sitting out.
