Blood oranges are usually in season here in California in Spring, but our cool weather pushed them off to early summer this year which is fine with me. Any chance I can get my hands on these dark pink beauties I will enjoy them. If they are out of season you can use any fresh oranges you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most orange chicken recipes use marmalade and brown sugar and end up overpoweringly sweet. Gee, I wonder why. I kept it simple to let the flavor of the oranges shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was supposed to have a dark pink glaze to it, but my preteen son was \"starving\"<\/strong>. Any mom that has survived these years knows that 1) boys are always starving and 2) they will sneak in and start eating anything<\/strong> if you don't get them something healthy ASAP.  I had to rush the last step of thickening the cooking juices before applying it as a glaze and broiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
