Sticky Asian Blood Orange Chicken

This Sticky Asian Blood Orange Chicken is a fantastic twist on the classic Chinese take-out, Orange Chicken. Drumsticks or thighs are marinated and then basted with a sweet, spicy, sticky sauce infused with Blood Orange juice, garlic, ginger, chili, honey, and jalapeno. An explosion of flavor does not even cover it!

I feel like I only really discovered Blood Oranges this year and I’m not quite sure why that is. Part of it has to do with the fact that they are only available from around December to May. Part of it is that I tend to primarily buy oranges only for the kids and they prefer the little, easy-peal cuties. And I think I always assumed they would be grapefruitish. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Thai Style Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry

Thai Style Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry is full of flavor and is so quick and easy!

I absolutely love stir-fry. It’s great for during the week because it comes together so quickly. Spend a few minutes with the knife and cutting board to slice and dice your meat and veggies. Stir together a sauce and cook everything over a high heat. Dinner is served in under 30 minutes and it’s going to be so much tastier and healthier then carry out.

My Thai Style Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry is one of my husband’s favorites. Juicy strips of chicken breast mixed with tender-crisp sweet red peppers, green and yellow onions, mushrooms, and toasted cashews all combine with a slightly sweet and savory sauce infused with ginger and garlic….

Simple Chicken Brine

This Simple Chicken Brine is so easy and will make your chicken ridiculously moist and flavorful.

Why brine you might ask?

The process of soaking a chicken, or many other kinds of meat, in a salt water and herb solution causes the meat to become infused with seasoned, flavorful moisture that will be retained along with it’s own natural juices through-out the cooking process. The leaner cuts, like the breast will always be more moist and juicy and have more flavor then if they were not brined.
