I have known this recipe for many years, can’t remember where I heard it. Probably on some talk radio show. They were talking about fabulous appetizers for parties and this came up. Since then I have made it a few times and have tweaked it. The tamari and orange juice give it a lot of flavor, especially if you marinate it over night. I decided to use the marinade as a sauce and use treat it as a main dish instead of an appetizer. I had the chicken with the chow mein I made yesterday and it was a nice combination. I added hot sauce to my portion since I like things spicy!

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2 inch squares
  • 4 ounces tamari
  • 6 ounces concentrated thawed orange juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 green onion, chopped

Marinate the chicken with tamari, orange juice and garlic over night or for at least 3 hours. Spread the chicken on a lined cookie sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, make sure to set the marinade aside. Broil the chicken in the oven for 15- 20 minutes turning once to make sure all sides are golden brown.
Mean while bring the marinade to a boil in a pan. Adjust seasonings and set aside. Once the chicken is done, drizzle the sauce and garnish with green onions.
