Mediterranean Style Orange Chicken
Well, here it is again, a great party favourite. This dish came from a Portuguese recipe that was given to me by my mother. I always remember how the orange, lemon aroma was coming from the kitchen, back home.
Now, I really do not eat the chicken skin, but I did not remove it from the dish because I need it to give flavor to the sauce. You need to try this recipe, for you will never understand how good it is until you try it.
Let me know in the comments how yours turned out.
