How to Make Asian Style Chicken Mandarin
- If using whole chicken thighs, wash and pat them dry. If using cut pieces, skip this step.
- Place flour in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken to the skillet and brown on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain mandarin oranges, reserving the juice. Set oranges aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and ginger.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
- 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).
- Add the drained mandarin orange segments to the skillet during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
- Serve the Asian Style Chicken Mandarin over cooked rice, if desired.
