Ingredients

• 1 lb. orange chicken tenders or chicken nuggets
• 1/2 cup orange sauce

Instructions

• Heat the oil in a cooking pot.

• Remove the chicken from the cooking pot and place in a plate lined with paper towels. Let the chicken stay for 10 minutes so that the paper towels can absorb most of the oil.
• Put the chicken in a large bowl. Pour-in the orange sauce. Toss until the chicken is fully coated.
• Transfer the your orange chicken tenders in a serving plate. Top with chopped scallions.
• Serve. Share and enjoy!
