Try one bite of Marie Hayer's coated chicken-you'll taste the zesty orange flavor first, then the cayenne zip. The coating is simple to make, says the Hodgenville, Kentucky cook, and it keeps the chicken moist and flavorful.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meat and seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
  • Make sure the sauce is thickened: The sauce should be thickened before serving. You can do this by simmering it for a few minutes or by adding a cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve immediately: Orange chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is crispy and the sauce is hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This Zippy Orange Chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. Serve it with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
