Notes
Serve this sweet sticky chicken with steamed broccoli and lots of rice to soak up this lip-smackin' sauce.
* I don't drink orange juice so I buy frozen orange juice concentrate and have it on hand for my homemade granola, overnight oats, this chicken recipe and any recipe that might call for orange juice.
