4.8 from 13 reviews

A quick and delicious 3-ingredient orange chicken recipe made with crispy chicken nuggets coated in a flavorful orange marmalade BBQ sauce, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 5 cups chicken nuggets, precooked

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (we used Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • 1 cup sweet orange marmalade
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken Nuggets: Prepare the chicken nuggets according to the package directions until they are hot and crispy.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, sweet orange marmalade, soy sauce, and optional sesame oil. Stir to blend well.
  3. Heat Sauce: Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave the sauce mixture for 45 seconds to warm and meld the flavors together.
  4. Toss Chicken in Sauce: Immediately toss the hot, crispy chicken nuggets with the warm orange BBQ sauce until they are fully coated and evenly glazed.

Notes

  • You can use any brand of BBQ sauce, but a sweeter version like Sweet Baby Ray’s complements the orange marmalade well.
  • The sesame oil is optional but adds a nice nutty depth to the sauce.
  • If you prefer homemade sauce, combine orange marmalade with a little ketchup, soy sauce, and chili flakes instead.
  • Serve with steamed rice or as an appetizer with toothpicks for easy sharing.
  • For gluten-free option, ensure BBQ sauce and soy sauce are certified gluten free.
