Tips:
- Select the right oranges: Use high-quality, sweet oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges with a deep orange color and a thin, smooth skin.
- Zest the oranges before juicing: The zest of the oranges contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest them before juicing. Use a fine grater or a microplane to get the zest.
- Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice is essential for this recipe. Do not use store-bought orange juice, as it will not have the same flavor.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the orange juice, soy sauce, and spices helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from burning and drying out.
- Add the orange sauce at the end of cooking: Adding the orange sauce at the end of cooking helps to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve immediately: Chicken à l'orange is best served immediately after cooking, while the chicken is still hot and the sauce is still bubbling.
