Ingredients
5 cups chicken nuggets, precooked
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s recommended)
1 cup sweet orange marmalade
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken nuggets according to the instructions on the package.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine BBQ sauce, orange marmalade, soy sauce, and sesame oil (if using). Cover with a damp paper towel.
- Microwave the sauce mixture for 45 seconds.
- Toss the crispy chicken nuggets in the hot orange BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Notes
- For a more balanced meal, add steamed vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas.
- If you like some heat, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha sauce to the sauce mixture.
- Substitute crispy tofu or cooked shrimp for a different protein option.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles to make the meal more filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave, on the stove, or for extra crispiness, in an oven or air fryer.
