Savory Orange Chicken


I think we all grew up with a version of this classic dish. I know Orange Chicken was a staple in our house because it went a long way and all of us enjoyed it. I attempted the classic, but I came up with a different version. The result was savory goodness that all of us could eat over and over again. It also brought be back to my childhood! I hope my kids will remember this one.



What You Will Need:
12 chicken drumsticks
1 orange, peeled, sliced
garlic salt and pepper
½ C orange marmalade
2 tsp Sriracha
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp ground ginger
2 T Soy sauce

1) Whisk all ingredients in small bowl together.
2) Season chicken with salt and pepper.
3) Place onion on bottom of slow cooker.
4) Top onion with chicken.
5) Pour sauce over top. Top with orange slices.
6) Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours.
7) Serve with rice and salad.

Yes, I did grow up with that on my plate. The addition of Sriracha sounds like a good one.
