The lighter mandarin sauce is delicate and flavorful

Ingredients

  • extra virgin olive oil (for frying)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons light brown sugar

Note

If you want a thicker sauce, gradually add in corn starch, a 1/2 teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Directions

Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Add the olive oil to a deep skillet. Roll the chicken in the corn starch, coating the pieces completely. Fry the chicken in the skillet on medium to high heat until the coating is golden and crispy, turning once. Drain on a napkin.

This Baked Mandarin Orange Chicken is a lighter version of orange chicken you find in restaurants. This is perfect for warmer spring and summer weather.

Hubby liked it too and he was also happy he didn’t have to slice anything, as he will be in his sling for another four weeks after shoulder surgery, which means another month of one-armed meals.  His doc won’t start physical therapy yet, so we need to make things that are easy for him to eat.  And tasty too. This mandarin orange chicken fit the bill on that one!

    This sounds really good. My kids love orange chicken. I have recently tried a crock pot version and we like it. I am going to put this one on my list to try as well – pinning.
