Ingredients in Orange Chicken

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts: Cut these into cubes that are similar in size so that they cook evenly. Cornstarch: This helps to coat the chicken so that you end up with that deliciously crispy outside. Vegetable Oil: The oil is what you will cook the chicken in before placing it in the crockpot. Rice Wine Vinegar: This adds a tangy flavor to the sauce. Soy Sauce: This adds a delicious salty flavor that goes well with the other ingredients. Sesame Oil: Sesame oile brings in that traditional Asian flavor. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use olive oil instead. It will just have less flavor in the dish! Sweet Orange Marmalade: In order to get that classic orange chicken flavor, this marmalade is a must! Brown Sugar: This adds a sweetness to the dish and brings all of the flavors together. Salt and Pepper: These will enhance all of the ingredients in the orange chicken!
