Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2/3 cup Sweet Baby BBQ sauce
  • 2/3 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Crispy Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts skinless
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan, add the BBQ sauce, marmalade, and soy sauce. Turn the heat on low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • Meanwhile, cut up your chicken breasts into cubes. In one bowl beat 1 eggs, while in the other bowl place the flour. This can be done in a ziploc bag also.
  • Dip pieces of chicken in the egg and then cover in flour. Set on an extra plate.
  • Add a thin layer of oil to a frying pan and turn your stove on medium/high heat. Once it sizzles, add the chicken to the pan. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes each side until it's brown and cooked on the inside.
  • Set the oily pieces on a paper towel and let drain.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce and toss!
  • Eat it on top of white rice and enjoy. I think veggies would be good with it such as green peppers or broccoli, voila, dinner!
