Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Orange Chicken.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken dish, grab a nonporous glass dish or bowl and mix together the soy sauce, fresh orange juice, sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and a handful of raisins.
Step 2
Stir everything well until the sugar dissolves and the flavors meld beautifully, creating a vibrant marinade.
Step 3
Next, add your chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure they are thoroughly coated in that flavorful mixture.
Step 4
Cover the dish and let it work its magic in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure every bite is bursting with flavor.
Step 5
When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 6
Once the oven is hot, transfer the marinated chicken to a 9x13 inch baking dish, pouring the marinade evenly over the top to keep it juicy.
Step 7
Pop the dish into the oven and let it bake for 45 minutes.
Step 8
To keep the chicken moist and enhance its flavor, baste it with the marinade every 15 minutes.
Step 9
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your flavorful creation!.
