DIRECTIONS





1. Preheat a grill for medium heat.


2. Combine the marmalade, vinegar, olive oil, and sage in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes until smooth. Stir in the chives, then remove 1/3 of the sauce to serve with the chicken later on.


3. Season the chicken pieces with garlic salt and pepper. Grill for about 15 minutes on each side, then brush with glaze. Continue cooking until done, 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally, and brushing with additional glaze. Serve with reserved marmalade glaze.
Rice


1c jasmine rice rinsed


1.5c water


1/2 salt(unnecessary, but adds flavor)





Bring water to boil. Add salt. Add rinsed rice. Turn heat down to low. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir. If water still remaining cook for another 2 minutes. Poke rice with fork to fluff it. Kill heat and wait another 10 minutes.





Orange Sauce


5T vinegar


5T sugar


1.5T water


1.5T soy sauce


Zest from 1 orange


Remove skin from orange and dice into dime size pieces, place into bowl and mash it





To add heat use red paper flakes at you discretionary amount.





Combine everything into the bowl of mashed oranges. Place aside.





Add vegetable, canola, or peanut oil into deep sauce pan enough to submerge the chicken. Bring oil to temperature between 350 and 375 degrees.





Chicken


Slice 1 to 2 chicken breasts or about 1/2lb


Place in mixing bowl.


Beat one egg and add to chicken. Mix thoroughly.





Batter


1/4c flour


2T cornstarch


2t salt


pinch of sugar


pinch of garlic powder


pinch of black pepper





Mix dry ingredients. Dump dry ingredients into mixing bowl with chicken. Stir thoroughly until the mixture starts to resemble a paste. This will allow you to pinch smaller pieces of chicken together to create a uniform size and shape for equal cooking time in the oil.





Pinch together equal size pieces of chicken and place on a cold plate. Once oil reaches a controlled temperature, start adding the chicken. Fry for 3-4 minutes until a golden brown. Do it in two batches so the oil temperature doesn't drop too low. Remove cooked chicken to a paper towel to allow excess oil to run off.





When the chicken is all done, add your orange sauce into a sauce pan large enough to glaze all the chicken in one batch. Bring the orange sauce to boil. While waiting, place a bowl in the sink and a wire strainer over the top. We want to strain out the bits of orange that won't absorb into the chicken or evaporate into flavor. After straining, apply pressure to the remaining orange pieces to extract as much juice as possible. Dump orange excess and pour the remaining sauce in the bowl back into the sauce pan. Stir with a wire wisk or surface safe spoon. Once the sauce starts to bubble throw in the chicken and cook until the sauce is almost entirely absorbed.





Plate your rice in the center of the plate. Surround it with your orange chicken. Serve. High five your partner, guests, pets, whatever. Enjoy.





If you want to kick up the taste, finely dice some cilantro and sprinkle it over the plated rice and orange chicken.
