Orange and Honey Chicken …a new year special Colab with Oriya Rasoi and A Dollop of that
As we inch closer to the New year 2016, new resolutions are being made,hearts are filled with new hopes ,plans for reaching out for newer opportunities discussed but here I am stuck with my New Year’s Eve dinner menu.
Our house guests left yesterday and it’s that time of the year in Goa when people are here for merrymaking and celebrating the festive season and invariably all houses are filled with guests,all resorts ,hotels and shacks are jampacked and Goa is bursting at its seams.
For years have been enjoying the new year in Goa ,partying hard but this time as I was getting my house back in order,pondered whether to be in a crowded ,wild Goa or just spend a quiet New Years eve with my parents and sister and her family in Bangalore.
And my kids shrieked with joy when they heard my plans and thanks to a wonderful better half …he was ready for a drive down to our destination .And so here I am all packed up and ready to spend a peaceful New Year’s Eve with near and dear ones.
Have finally planned to make a succulent,skillet Chicken with savory, tangy, honey orange sauce for the main course.Nothing beats a hearty home cooked meal with the whole family on the table. This recipe yields a moist, juicy and absolutely delightful chicken steeped in an addictive honey orange sauce and takes just 20-25 minutes to prepare. Serve the scrumptious chicken with steamed rice and enjoy.
Adapted from rasamalaysia but have tweaked the recipe according to our tastes.
Can adjust the measure of ingredients according to your taste.
