BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

Steps:
- 1.Whisk the Orange Marinade/Glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup to a large freezer bag with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken and marinate 60 minutes up to overnight in the refrigerator. Refrigerate reserved Glaze separately. 2.Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in panko and continue to cook and stir until browned. Remove from heat.** 3.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil then top with a wire baking rack. Spray rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 4.Line up your breading station: Add flour to a large freezer bag. Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl or shallow dish. Mix panko, ground cornflakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl. 5.Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Add chicken to flour and toss until evenly coated. Working with one chicken tender at a time, remove from flour, shake off any excess then coat in milk/egg mixture and drain off any excess. Roll chicken in panko/cornflakes, pressing to adhere. Shake off any excess and place on wire rack. Repeat until all chicken tenders are breaded. 6.Bake for 20 minutes at 425 F degrees or until chicken is cooked through. Broil until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes while you prepare your Glaze. 7.Add reserved Glaze to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Using tongs, dip chicken in Glaze to coat then return to baking rack or individual plates. Garnish with orange and green onions if desired. Notes Total cooking time does not include marinating as that will vary upon individual. *I use my food processor and pulse until the size of panko crumbs. You can place cornflakes in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. You can substitute cornflakes with additional panko for a total of 1 1/4 cups panko and brown panko with 1 tablespoon butter. **You can do this while your chicken marinates and store in an airtight container until ready to use. ***The less time you wait between coating the chicken in the glaze and eating, the crispier it will be. That being said, the chicken has a wonderful texture but is not overly crispy.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350
- 2. Arrange foil in a baking dish and spray with a little PAM.
- 3. In a large bowl, add the chili powder, bbq sauce,and orange marmalade. mix well and let it chill in the fridge for ten minutes.
- 4. Once its chilled, take your chicken and coat it with the sauce.
- 5. Arrange in baking dish and put in oven for forty five minutes to an hour. Just until the chicken is done on the inside.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality olive oil. The quality of your olive oil will make a big difference in the flavor of your chicken. Look for a good quality extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the baking pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken so that the air can circulate.
- Use a sharp knife to score the chicken. Scoring the chicken will help the marinade penetrate the meat and will also help the chicken cook more evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. Letting the chicken rest before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
Baked Orange Chicken is a delightful combination of tangy and savory flavors. The chicken is juicy and tender, with a crispy skin that perfectly complements the sweet and tangy orange sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table, and it is easy enough to make for a weeknight meal.
