SHANGHAI CHICKEN
We love this recipe, and have for many years. I've been making it since not long after we were married, and I still get requests. It's easy and quick. To make it healthier for us, I no longer sprinkle the chow mein noodles on top, but the kids sure loved them! The recipe card says this is from Woman's Day magazine. It would have sometime back in the 80's.

SHANGHAI HUNAN CHICKEN
The owner of the Chinese restaurant in our town was nice enough to show me how to make his Hunan chicken (my favorite!) when they sold the restaurant in December, 2012. He used a wok over a huge gas flame and whipped this up in about 3 minutes! Americans will have to make do with a saute pan, and I'm sure a stove won't cook nearly as fast as his wok on a flame. I hope I remembered most of his recipe!

Steps:
- 1. In a medium size bowl, mix orange zest, juice, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, oil, and coriander. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade.
- 2. Stir chicken in remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- 3. Lift chicken from marinade and drain briefly (discard marinade). Thread chicken and pineapple chunks on thin metal skewers - alternating 2 chicken chunks and 1 pineapple chunk. Brush reserved marinade over pineapple.
- 4. Place skewers on a lightly greased grill 4-6 inches above a solid bed of hot coals or as desired on gas grill. Cook, turning and basting with reserved marinade, until chicken is no longer pink in center (6-8 minutes).
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Marinate Your Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful marinade will help it stay moist and tender during cooking.
- Cook the Chicken Over Medium Heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that your chicken is cooked to the proper internal temperature.
- Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
