Orange Honey Garlic Chicken

Summertime means long weekends at the beach, time with friends and family, and plenty of cookouts and picnics. If you’re looking for a simple recipe that’s sure to impress at your next BBQ, look no further than our Orange Honey Garlic Chicken recipe! 

Orange juice can be just the thing you need to spice up any meat marinade. Acids can work as tenderizers and help break down tough fibers in certain cuts of meat. The sweetness of the juice can also add a nice hint of flavor to whatever you’re cooking without being too overpowering. 

This Orange Honey Garlic Chicken recipe is the definition of a set it and forget it meal. Once you mix the marinade together all you have to do is add the chicken and let it sit in your fridge for a few hours. Once it’s time to gather for your BBQ you’ll have mouth-watering chicken ready in a matter of minutes.
