Orange Chicken.
The first thing that pops into my mind is Asian cuisine. But then there is Chicken A La’Orange. A French dish.
I am sure there are many other International Orange chicken dishes.
But this one is easy to make and quite moist and delicious.
It’s not spicy at all. If you want a bit of spice, try a pinch of ground chipotle pepper.
Ya know, now that I think about it, wouldn’t it be nice to be in Oaxaca, Mexico, right about now, on the beach, sipping margaritas and dining as the sun sets along the beaches?
Oh how I wish I had tons of dough to spend traveling the world.
But for now I will have to enjoy the cuisine from my own kitchen.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
