A Mango Chicken Slop

Terrific New eBook On How To Broil Delicious Foods The other night I was with a friend of mine and we were feeling ambitious, so we decided to tackle a pretty tricky Mango chicken recipe , despite the fact we were missing a lot of the ingredients. We were supplied with the major ingredients the recipe required, thus the little extras that we lacked didn’t seem to matter. I guess we didn’t realize that having about one third of the amount of orange juice we needed would affect the recipe, so we started anyway. The best way to cook chicken is to thaw it first, cut it into desired sizes and deep fry until it turns golden brown. We chopped up about half a small red onion and threw that in once the chicken was cooked. Now add a third of a cup of orange juice, leaving the rest for later, and that will sit for a while. It was the beginnings of a sauce, a very minimally flavored sauce. When the water is sligthly bubbling add the mangos. If you don’t have fresh, used a frozen one. Still, everything was cooking nicely. We were getting there. I thought it was an easy chicken recipe. I was wrong. Two tablespoons of cornstarch attenuate in hot water added to the and will firm the sauce When we tasted it we were surprised. Not horrified, not please, just surprised, the sauce had a hint of orange juice but tasted mostly like flour. Otherwise the recipe was nice, the chicken was cooked nice although it certainly could have used some spices. More onions would have also improved the flavor. After eating the mango-chicken-flour slop, we decided to keep the recipe. We were sure the dish would be good if we followed the recipe instructions. It tasted even better than the chicken wing recipe my mother always prepared for us.
We replaced the cornstarch with flour, without reduceing the quantity of the water/flour mixture. Since we had so little orange juice, in essence, so little flavor for the sauce, we certainly should have added much less. The sauce ended up being very thick, but it still looked decent!
