  1. Very moist and juicy! Not what I'm used to for orange chicken (the type from the chinese take out) but so much better! Also much healthier. I love that this wasn't breaded and then coated with a thick sauce. Thanks so much for sharing your delicious recipe.
     
  2. This is good. DD (toddler) and I liked it a lot served with Basmati rice and salad greens. I used regular mustard as we don't like hot spicy food, sea salt for the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Made for Ramadan Tag.
     
  3. Warning! This chicken is EXTREMELY moist! I didn't even marinate before baking, just added the ingredients and put it straight into the oven. The sauce (or glaze), which is made up of mustard (we used a combo of yellow and spicy brown), OJ, and onion (we used dried) creates a wonderful and very flavorful sauce that during dinner, we pondered having this over a bed of salad greens and the sauce as dressing... and that's exactly how we'll serve it next time. Perhaps add some dried cranberries in there too. :)Thanks Nasseh, for posting such a simple and versatile recipe that produces a VERY tender & VERY moist chicken! We love it!
     
  4. By now, if I see a good chicken recipe, I cant pass it up. This was one of them. The only adjustment I made was that I cut the salt in half to an 1/8 of a teaspoon. The orange flavor is FANTASTIC !! This is a definate make again, because the kids wanted more. Made for New Zaar Tag.
