Tips:

  • Use ripe oranges: The fresher and riper the oranges, the better the sauce will taste. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a bright, vibrant color.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: The zest of the oranges contains a lot of flavor, so it's important to zest them before juicing them. You can use a zester or a microplane grater to zest the oranges.
  • Don't let the sauce boil: Once you add the chicken to the sauce, let it simmer gently over low heat. If the sauce boils, it will become bitter.
