Orange chicken marinade

Description

This is one of my go to chicken marinades . It takes about half the jar of orange marmalade so i get 2 batches out of just one jar. I like to use chicken tenders for this and cook them on the griddle, along with my sides . I normally have chicken in the deep freezer and everything is I always have on hand basically the one thing I normally need to buy is the orange marmalade, if iam out . Definitely a family favorite right here. Ive cooked them on a griddle and in a frying pan before I even had a bigger blackstone. Been making this for years now. I’ve been using these reusable bags for 2 years now ….. see my tips so if anyone is wondering why my zip lock is green that’s why . I highly recommend them.
