This orangey chicken was the first meal I served my future husband. I chose it because it's easy, but he thought it was amazing and gobbled it up. We were married three months later, so I guess it worked. -Leah Harvath, Heber City, Utah

Tips:

  • To make the best Grilled Orange Chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use chicken tenderloins, but they will cook more quickly, so be careful not to overcook them.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat. Be sure to grease the grill pan lightly with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • The orange marinade in this recipe is very flavorful, but it can also be a bit acidic. If you are concerned about the acidity, you can reduce the amount of orange juice or add a little bit of honey to the marinade.
  • Be sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. You can check the doneness of the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more juicy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled Orange Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful orange marinade and then grilled to perfection. The result is a juicy and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
