Sten and Maren drool when they see this sign. They beg and plead and whine for ORANGE CHICKEN! While cruising pinterest (yes - they have recipes), I spotted a "crockpot orange chicken" recipe. I love the idea of a crockpot - dump stuff in and forget about it. While it is cooking, the aroma fills the house - and you feel like a magician pulling this fabulous dinner out several hours later (in your Betty Crocker apron with a pleasant smile on your face).Crockpot Orange Chicken
Cut up chicken pieces, dredge in flour and brown in olive oil. They don't have to be cooked through, just browned
Mix together the following, and pour over chicken in crockpot
1/2 T Salt (yeah- they say Chinese food is high in sodium)
1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
3 T Ketchup
6 oz Concentrated orange juice
2 T Brown Sugar
2-3 Cloves Minced Garlic
Dash of Ginger
Cook on high for 2-3 hrs or on low 5-6. Serve with rice, veggies. Sit back with a grin and wait for the compliments to roll in . . . Yum!

Hey, did you know that Costco sells the sauce for a good price....I love it too, but Todd says it is OLD chicken sitting there, but he loves the sauce.
Thanks for the tip - I'm typically skeptical about pre-made things, especially if they involve chicken. I cannot choke down gristle which always seems to be hiding in those things. Blech!
This is awesome! We love the orange chicken, but can't eat it because of gluten--this would be easy peasy to make gf! Thanks!
Thanks for a great sounding recipe. My kids love the orange chicken there also!!
Thanks for sharing. We had it today for lunch and everyone liked it--a true miracle!
Oh, glad to know it's not only our kids that complain about the food. I can't wait to go to their homes someday - I think I'll complain about the food, fight with Scott and leave a big mess:)
Glad you liked it!
