CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ORANGE CINNAMON GINGER SAUCE
Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with paprika. Heat the pressure cooker. Add oil and brown the chicken. add garlic, stir for 2 minutes. Season with combined salt, cinnamon and ginger. Add onion pepper celery and stir. Add raisins, almonds and orange juice. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator on the vent pipe. COOK 10 MINUTES. Cool pressure cooker at once by running cold water over it. Remove chicken and vegetables. Combine cornstarch with the water and add to the pot it while heating and stirring until the sauce thickens. Pour sauce over the chicken, sprinkle olives on the top. Serve with couscous
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and orange zest. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, but the flavor will be less intense.
- To make the sauce, you can use either chicken broth or vegetable broth. If you use chicken broth, the sauce will be richer and more flavorful.
- To make the chicken extra crispy, double-coat it in the cornstarch mixture before frying.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, and it will not be as crispy.
- Serve the chicken immediately with the orange sauce and rice. The chicken is also delicious served cold, so it's a great option for a packed lunch or picnic.
Conclusion:
Ginger orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the orange sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
