Orange glazed chicken (low sugar calories)

Orange glazed chicken is another sweet and tangy chicken recipe my kids love. Why not make this when you have orange laying around the house. Especially an orange that is not sweet for enjoying as is.

My  middle chicle made this chicken several time since I have shown him how. It does save us unnecessary trip to Asian restaurant. This sauce is perfect for chicken wings.

It doesn’t take time to make and you can always make the glaze ahead of time and store it in the fridge for about a week. It might become jelly like, but once you heat it up you will be good to go. The tapioca starch use is optional, or you can use an all purpose flour, but be mindful of carb and gluten!

To keep this recipe keto friendly, I use erythritol.  You can check it out here.

What is Erythritol

It is a natural sweetener,  that taste exactly like sugar but without the added calories of sugar. Erythritol is produced during a type of yeast process with  glucose from corn or wheat starch. The final product looks exactly like white table sugar. Erythritol is from the family of  sugar alcohol like Xylitol and actual table sugar.

The good thing is erythritol contains fewer calories per gram but is just as sweet as real sugar.

To begin with, it contains much fewer calories: Erythritol: 0.24 calorie per gram Table sugar: 4 calories per gram Xylitol: 2.4 calories per gram

Even though erythritol doesn’t have any serious side effects, eating too much of it may upset your digestive system. Moderation is Key is everything.

For this chicken recipe you will need:

• Chicken breast (cut is chunks
• Your favorite chicken seasoning or use Savourous Nashville style chicken seasoning
• Apple cider vinegar
• You favorite sweetener (sugar, honey, erythritol…)
• Oil for deep frying

I hope you will enjoy it. Give me your feedback once tried.
