BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN



Baked Orange-Glazed Chicken image

One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

Tips:

  • To make sure the meatballs are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cook the meatballs until they are no longer pink in the center.
  • To make the orange glaze, use fresh orange juice for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh orange juice, you can use store-bought orange juice, but make sure it is 100% juice and not from concentrate.
  • To make the meatballs more flavorful, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil.
  • You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese to the meatballs for a cheesy flavor.
  • To make the meatballs more tender, you can soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meat mixture.
  • If you are using ground chicken, make sure it is fresh and not frozen.
  • You can also use ground turkey in place of the chicken.
