Ingredients
1
lb
chicken breasts
boneless, skinless
1
cup
cornstarch
2
eggs
beaten
oil
for frying
1
cup
barbecue sauce
your favorite
1
cup
sweet orange marmalade
3
tbsp
soy sauce
Instructions
In a small saucepan, on low heat, combine the bbq sauce, orange marmalade, and soy sauce.
Bring to a simmer, allow to simmer 10 minutes.
While sauce is simmering, take cubes of chicken and dip into cornstarch, then into the beaten eggs.
Again, dip the chicken into cornstarch and set aside.
Add your oil to a pan, just enough to cover the bottom, and once it's hot cook the chicken pieces.
Cook 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Once chicken is cooked and sauce is done, combine the two.
If you prefer your chicken extra crispy you can place it on a pan and bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.
Serve with Pagoda® egg rolls and crab rangoon, and your favorite fried rice recipe!
