GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN STRIPS

Grilled Orange Chicken Strips image

These savory marinated chicken strips are great for a picnic or backyard barbecue. I grill them right along with sausages and hot dogs. Skewering the chicken makes it easy to handle, but you can put the strips directly on the grill or broil them in the oven if you prefer. -Marion Lowery, Medford, Oregon

This chicken has a wonderful flavor and the citrus makes it nice and tender. Plan ahead, because it does need to marinade 1-2 hours. We enjoy using the leftover chicken on top of mixed green salads. Prep time does not include maridading. Grilling time is estimated.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh oranges for the marinade. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken strips in a grill pan over medium heat.
Don't overcrowd the grill or grill pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
Cook the chicken strips until they are slightly charred and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Serve the chicken strips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or orange sauce.

Conclusion:

These Grilled Orange Chicken Strips are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the orange marinade gives it a bright and citrusy taste. Serve the chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
