3 ounces orange juice

Steps:

  • Fill glass with ice. Add Smirnoff Orange Flavored Vodka and orange juice. Stir well.

Tips:

  • While the chicken is cooking, make the screwdriver sauce. Simply combine orange juice, vodka, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, add the screwdriver sauce to the skillet and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the screwdriver chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
