Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Orange Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare the frozen popcorn chicken according to the package instructions by spreading it in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown and crispy.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare your choice of white or brown rice according to the package instructions. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add the rice and simmer until fluffy.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine equal parts of orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the crispy popcorn chicken into a large mixing bowl and pour the warm orange sauce over it. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Serve the orange chicken over the prepared rice, adding more sauce if desired and incorporating sautéed vegetables for a nutritious meal.
