How to Make Orange Chicken

Step-by-Step

Sauté butter and garlic in pan over med-hi heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides.
Mix orange juice and brown sugar in separate bowl. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes turning chicken at the 10 minute mark. (DOUBLE THE SYRUP RECIPE IF DESIRED)
Uncover and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until brown sugar mixture is thick and syrupy. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN SYRUP.
