This golden Cilantro Orange Chicken is so flavorful, crisped to golden brown perfection, and just very finger-licking good. You\u2019re going to need some napkins.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m being normal, I usually serve it with rice, beans, and quick homemade pineapple salsa \u2013 which all just works together so well, you know? It has a Cuban feel to it: a mojo-like sauce with rice and beans and some tropical fruit on the plate for good measure. Yum. Yum yum yum.<\/p>\n<p>But the beautiful thing is that if you don\u2019t have time or patience for the extras, or you\u2019re your most hungry and desperate self, the chicken can very much stand on its own. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s rare for me to really love a \u201cplain chicken\u201d recipe, but this chicken is eat-directly-off-the-pan delicious. Just brush that burnished chicken with some extra sauce straight out of the oven, pass me a couple skewers, and I am done. It\u2019s all I need! Just a snack-turned-dinner standing over the stove.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2400\" data-pin-description=\"This golden Cilantro Orange Chicken is so flavorful, crisped to golden brown perfection, and just very finger-licking good!

But if you\u2019re feeling unsure about it you can use aluminum foil.<\/p>\n<p>The sauce has a lot of salt, and that is on purpose \u2013 you\u2019re only putting half of the sauce on the chicken, and even then, not all of it will actually bake into the chicken. If you\u2019re worried about it, you can start with 1 teaspoon in the sauce and just add extra salt to taste the chicken itself during or after baking.<\/p>\n<p>I like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/vigo-saffron-yellow-rice-mix-8oz\/-\/A-13013364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yellow rice<\/a>, and this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/90-second-saffron-rice-mix-microwavable-pouch-8-8oz-good-38-gather-8482\/-\/A-54600283#lnk=sametab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">precooked yellow rice<\/a>.

You can place the chicken directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and position the pan 4-6 inches below the broiler. You\u2019ll get the same juicy-delicious burnishing on the outside of the chicken without the work of the skewers! (But\u2026 if you have time, the skewers are definitely fun.) You can use these simple <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Gfaw19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">wood skewers<\/a>* or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KkFsi6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">metal skewers<\/a>* to use over and over again!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cilantro\">What If I Don\u2019t Like Cilantro? <\/h2>\n<p>I would recommend another herb like parsley, basil, or maybe some oregano. Green onion could be good, too.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"marinating\">Do I Need To Marinate The Chicken?<\/h2>\n<p>I didn\u2019t marinate the chicken \u2013 it was still great, especially because the sauce has a lot of flavor and you\u2019re going to brush that over the chicken again before eating it. This is an SOS recipe (aka easy recipe) so we\u2019re trying to keep the whole process simple and streamlined! <\/p>\n<p>But if you had time and you wanted to marinate the chicken, I think that would be delicious! Just be sure to save some of your sauce in a separate container so you can use it for brushing after it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"grill\">What About Grilling?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes! This would be so great on the grill. Here in Minnesota, we are not in grill season quite yet, so at the moment I prefer to just pop them in the oven. But if you\u2019ve got your grill up and running, by all means!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"vegetarian\">What\u2019s a Good Vegetarian Substitution?<\/h2>\n<p>I think you could do something similar with roasted cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or mushrooms! For a protein option, I\u2019d try coating <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/how-to-cook-tofu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crispy baked tofu<\/a> in this sauce and then roasting it for a few extra minutes to get it caramelized. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"recipes\">More Delicious Chicken and Rice Recipes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/cilantro-orange-chicken-with-rice-and-beans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This golden Cilantro Orange Chicken is so flavorful, crisped to golden brown perfection, and just very finger-licking good!
