The flavour profile in our Sticky Hoisin Orange Chicken is outstanding.
We prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe but you can use bone in and skin on, or drumsticks if you prefer for this dish. Whatever you decide, you will love it I’m sure.
Do not overcook and continue to baste chicken throughout cooking time. We served ours with noodles (kids), sometimes coconut rice, and steamed broccoli.

Very good! I had to substitute mushroom sauce for the oyster sauce (allergy to oysters); other than that I stuck to the recipe. I’ve also used it for pork loin – yum! The orange juice and zest lend such a nice citrus-y touch.
Thanks for sharing your substitution sauce with us. This will help others who may have the same allergy. So happy you enjoyed the recipe!
