Slow Cooker Orange Chicken
"This is the easiest orange chicken ever and there's no breading, browning, or frying involved. The chicken is so tender, juicy, and layered with complementary flavors from the orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions. There's plenty of cooking sauce leftover in the bottom of the slow cooker which I spoon generously over the chicken. I love the sweet-and-tangy, savory flavor. I used a slow cooker liner and cleanup was as easy as tossing the liner...."
