How to Make Asian Style Chicken Mandarin

1. If using whole chicken thighs, wash and pat them dry. If using cut pieces, skip this step.
2. Place flour in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
3. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add chicken to the skillet and brown on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Drain mandarin oranges, reserving the juice. Set oranges aside.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and ginger.
7. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
8. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender. If using whole chicken thighs, check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part; it should read 165°F (74°C).
9. Add the drained mandarin orange segments to the skillet during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
10. Serve the Asian Style Chicken Mandarin over cooked rice, if desired.
