Instructions

Preheat oven and cook chicken nuggets according to package instructions. Allow them to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized cooking pan, add orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce.
Over medium-high heat, warm the orange sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken nuggets. Toss to coat the nuggets evenly in the sauce.
Serve over rice or noodles, and garnish with green onions if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to the sauce.

Use homemade chicken nuggets for a more wholesome meal.

Pair with steamed broccoli or a side salad for a complete meal.
