Ingredients
5 cups precooked chicken nuggets
½ cup BBQ sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray’s)
1 cup sweet orange marmalade
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
Cook the chicken nuggets according to the package directions until hot and crispy.
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, or until warmed through. Stir to combine.
Toss the hot chicken nuggets with the orange BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately over rice and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
For extra crispiness, bake or air fry the nuggets instead of microwaving.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Serve with steamed broccoli or snap peas for a complete meal.
Best enjoyed fresh while the chicken is crispy.
