We got a bag of frozen chicken and needed a less boring way to cook
it than just grilling it and adding our favorite sauce. (The bags
are cheaper too, which is why this recipe only costs 6 bucks). I
found a mandarin chicken recipe and modified it somewhat mainly
because I didn't have hoisin sauce or cashews. You are supposed to
use hoisin sauce for a little spice and add cashews with the onion
and orange juice.
We gave this one a 3 on the goodness factor because it is hard to
say that everyone will like it. I wanted to give preparation a 4
because it was so easy to make (in only 20 minutes) but because I
had to mess with flour and chop up some onion it got a 3. Maybe we
should introduce the 1/2 mark to our ratings.
Let us know if you like/dislike this one or if you have any
suggestions on how to make it better. Enjoy!
