Orange Chicken

I got such a great response for this recipe that I thought you might want a copy. It's so yummy. Thanks Susie for sharing it with me.

Orange Chicken

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup orange juice

zest of one orange

1 TBS. ketchup

1/2 tsp. salt

Combine previous ingredients in a pan and simmer. While it is simmering, cut your chicken (about two large breasts worth) into nugget size pieces. Combine 3-4 eggs with about 1/4 cup of milk, whisk together and transfer your chicken to eggwash. In another bowl, put about 2 cups of four in and transfer the egg-covered chicken nuggets to flour and coat them.

Preheat your oven to 375. Then, Over Medium heat on the stove, heat about two cups of oil in a pan and fry upyour nuggets. I ususally fry each side of the nuggets for about 4 minutes. Once they are golden brown, place them on a paper towel covered plate to get rid of some of the extra grease. Put your chicken in an 8x8 baking pan and pour the orange sauce you made over top, stirring to coat each and every delicious bite. Bake in the over for 30 minutes. The sauce gets all thick and sticky and yuuuuuummmmmyyy! Serve over rice, or granish with sesame seeds and use as an appetizer (as Susie did).

Make this dish with caution, for it will cause all those who eat it to want to kiss you on the mouth. Luckily, I've only made it for my husband and sons, so I'm safe so far. But I would be weary of serving it at a church function. Oh! Imagine the disaster!
