ORANGE MARMALADE MARINATED SALMON, CHICKEN OR PORK
I just love Salmon and I'd say this is my favorite to date. This has an Asian touch. Lots of flavor. I did make this with Salmon but its possibilities are endless like tuna, Mahi Mahi, shrimp, orange roughy... I bet grilled pineapple in this marinade along with the fish or meat would be great! Cooking in a basket will caramelize the fish giving it a crispness and ease in turning it and cooking in foil will keep it moist as well as ease in flipping the fish. Cooking time is up to you I like my salmon very tender so I tend not to overcook it. This is great served on white rice. Leftovers would be great on a salad. The picture here is the salmon made under the broiler.

ORANGE MARMALADE CHICKEN
Orange marmalade is the key ingredient in a simple sauce with broth, lemon juice, flour and pepper added. Chicken breasts are lightly browned, then simmered in the sauce. Serve over hot cooked rice and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. This came from Thinner Times. I have not tried this, just posting for easy finding.

ORANGE MARMALADE CHICKEN WINGS
These are made in a pressure cooker. I have a 10 quart one. Because they are so good, expect people to eat double the amount you expect. Buy chicken wings where the wing is already cut in 2 pieces. You can cook a whole wing, but I've noticed that folks are more comfortable with the smaller pieces. Hot sauces: I use...

Steps:
- 1. In a 2-cup measuring cup mix together 3/4 cup hot sauce and 1/2 cup orange marmalade.
- 2. In the pot that comes with the pressure cooker, toss the chicken wings with the combined sauce from step 1.
- 3. Follow your pressure cooker directions, but simply lock the lid, set the steam/pressure release setting so it is closed, and hit the setting for Soups&Stews. (10-15 minutes depending on your cooker. Mine warms up for about 5 min and then cooks for 10 min. Total process is 15 min)
- 4. After the cooking process is complete, immediately release steam by opening the value setting on your machine. Release all steam and then open and remove the wings and arrange as many as will fit on a broiling pan.
- 5. Pour out the liquid juices and sauce inside the pressure cooker into large measuring cup. Let sit for a few minutes so that the grease or fat rises to the top. Skim that off and dispose.
- 6. Mix 1 cup of the reserve defatted juices from step 5 with 1/2 cup of additional hot sauce and 1/2 cup of marmalade. Baste the chicken wings with this mixture and put under a broiler for 5-10 minutes. Make sure the oven rack is not on the first row below the broiler, but the second row. You don't want them to cook too fast and burn. Keep an eye on them. Baste once or twice while under the broiler. Take out and turn the wings over, re-baste and return under broiler. Cook till crispy looking and just starting to burn. Remove and place on a plate while you repeat the process for the rest of the wings that didn't fit on your broiling pan the first time. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients always yield the best results. If possible, use fresh oranges for the marmalade and fresh chicken breasts for the dish.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure that they remain tender and juicy.
- Reduce the Marmalade: Reducing the marmalade will help to concentrate the flavors and give it a thicker consistency. You can do this by simmering it over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Garnish Before Serving: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, before serving. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Orange marmalade chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe to try, give orange marmalade chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
