½ pkg. popcorn chicken (about 3 cups)
¾ cup orange juice
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. sesame oil
Seasonings: dash or two ground ginger,
garlic powder, red pepper flakes
Toasted sesame seeds, if desired
Heat chicken as directed. Meanwhile, whisk remaining
ingredients except sesame seeds in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on
HIGH 2 minutes; stir. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes longer until bubbly and
thickened. Let stand 1 minute. Add hot chicken to sauce and toss. Garnish with
sesame seeds.
Serve with hot rice and cook-in-bag snap peas to make
it a meal.
This is the only photo I'm including because TBH none of the previous steps make it look very appetizing. |
My Rating: 4/5 "This is zesty! The sweetness is nice, but there's some complexity to the flavor too that makes it more interesting than your average food court orange chicken. It was a hit with our toddler as well, and that kid is SO picky. Useful quick-ish recipe!"
