Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil as needed
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 1 cup Orange Marmalade
  • ½ cup BBQ Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Red Chile Flakes or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • Sesame Seeds optional garnish
  • Green Onions optional garnish

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
  2. Once hot, add the ground chicken and cook until no longer pink, using a spatula to break it up occasionally. Cook for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine orange marmalade, bbq sauce, ginger, red chile flakes, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and soy sauce.
  4. Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the marmalade mixture. Stir to coat and allow mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until reduced by half and the mixture resembles a thick glaze, stirring occasionally.
  5. Taste and adjust, as desired.
  6. Serve garnished with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
