- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, light brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Reserve.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
- Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
- In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Prepare all ingredients and have them within easy reach before starting to cook. This will ensure that the stir-fry comes together quickly and easily.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow plenty of room for the chicken and vegetables to stir-fry without overcrowding.
- Heat the skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and give them a nice caramelized flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Stir-fry the chicken and vegetables until they are just tender: Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Add the peanut sauce and stir-fry until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated: Be careful not to overcook the sauce, as this will make it thick and gloopy.
- Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious peanut sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken and broccoli stir-fry with peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The peanut sauce is creamy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken and crisp-tender broccoli. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
