The enticing aroma of oranges and barbecue awaits you after removing the lid from this tasty dish. Summertime doesn't mean you can't enjoy a hot, hearty meal! If you have a rice cooker, you can make a side dish of rice to serve with the chicken.—Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

The honey BBQ sauce overpowered the orange marmalade. We plan to springboard off this recipe and tweak it so it tastes more like spicy orange chicken at an Asian restaurant

Although I thought the flavor was was too "orange-y" for my taste, my family loved it! I would love to make this again, but probably leave out the orange juice and just use the marmalade.

This was pretty good, but I made a few changes. I also couldn't find the "teriyaki sesame ginger barbecue sauce", and now I see that the recipe has been changed to "honey barbecue sauce". Interesting. Well, since I couldn't find that, I used a teriyaki marinade. When I put the sauce together, I tasted it and it didn't taste very orange to me, so I increased the marmalade to 1 cup and the oj to 3/4 cup. Also I halved the chicken, but kept the sauce the same, so I essentially doubled the sauce, because we like extra for the rice. I'll be making this again, with these adjustments.

This dish was excellent. It was a hunt to find the sesame ginger barbecue sauce but I did end up with a sesame ginger marinade instead which worked perfectly! It looked just like the picture and my husband gave a big thumbs up and he is not really fond of chicken dishes. I will definitely make it again!

This was not good. The barb. sauce was impossible to find so I used a sesame ginger marinade as a substitute. It looked nothing like the pix. and didn't taste that great either.

Rather than not making a recipe becuase the nutritional info is missing, use one of the many calorie counters available on the internet to find out, and you can adjust the servings to fit your needs.

It sounds wonderful. Since it doesn't have the nutrition facts, I couldn't make it!
