GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN STRIPS
These savory marinated chicken strips are great for a picnic or backyard barbecue. I grill them right along with sausages and hot dogs. Skewering the chicken makes it easy to handle, but you can put the strips directly on the grill or broil them in the oven if you prefer. -Marion Lowery, Medford, Oregon

GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN THIGHS
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

ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN TENDERS BY MR. FOOD
Fancy Schmancy Dinner from The Best of Mr. Food Cooking Quickies. I usually use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into strips instead of using tenders and cook longer. Be careful not to let the flour burn. I serve this with mashed potatoes and put some of the yummy sauce on top.
