The hankering for something delicious goes on when I saw these vibrant oranges in my pantry and so came with these oil free chicken laden with proteins and smothered with the most drool-worthy orange sauce were just what I was craving for . It’s a quarantine period and many ingredients are not handy to make something exotic. Chicken pieces that are cooked in simmer then coated in a sweet , tangy, spicy and delightfully sticky orange sauce made me fall in love . The combination of chili flakes and jaggery really offsets the citrusy, sweet taste of orange juice . I tend to eyeball when cooking, always make extra sauce to baste with . Instead of store bought orange marmalade , I love to make fresh orange juice with soy sauce and jaggery in place of brown sugar.
I just did little experiment with fresh orange juice and thin slices for the first time and it turned into a lip smacking sauce that left me astounded . Soy sauce brings a savory , salty compliments to the sweetness of orange juice. I love to put thin orange slices into sauce to look different but honestly guys these slices were delectable more than sauce.
