ORANGE SAUCE FOR CHICKEN

Contributed by Lynne Snyder
This is a perfect orange sauce.
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup orange juice, fresh squeezed if possible
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 2 to 3 Tbs. chopped green onion
  • 1 Tbs. grated orange zest
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. grated ginger
  • 1/2to 1 tsp. pressed or grated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes or a healthy pinch of cayenne pepper--be careful. I put too much in my last batch!
  • 2 Tbs. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbs. water
Mix everything but cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water together and bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch and water together and stir into orange mixture. Boil one minute, stirring constantly. Serve over chicken fingers or your own homemade fried chicken fingers and rice or noodles.
