Take a first piece for the crunch. Take a second for the sweet, spicy orange flavor. Also, try substituting apricot nectar for the orange juice and apricot jam for the marmalade. -Nicole Filizetti, Stevens Point, Wisconsin

I got creative with this recipe and added some chopped green onions and bell peppers to the orange sauce. It gave the dish a nice crunch and extra flavor. I will definitely be making this again with different variations.

I made this recipe with whole wheat flour and baked the chicken strips instead of frying them. They were still crispy and flavorful, and the orange sauce was just as good. I'm glad I found a healthier way to enjoy this dish.
