Instructions
- 1. Combine the orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- 2. Set up a small assembly line: a bowl with the beaten eggs, a shallow dish with the flour, and a clean plate for the coated chicken.
- 3. Dip each chicken cube into the beaten eggs, shaking off excess, then coat with flour.
- 4. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook until lightly browned, about 4–6 minutes per batch.
- 5. Once all chicken is cooked, reduce heat and pour the sauce into the skillet. Warm briefly, stirring to loosen browned bits.
- 6. Add chicken back to the pan and stir to coat. Heat until sauce thickens, approximately 8–12 minutes.
- 7. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- 8. Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or alongside roasted vegetables.
