NO TIME FOR CROCK POTS

I was pondering  with the thoughts what to make different with chicken, so it was off to my Pinterest boards, humm crockpot orange chicken

with terry having to get ready  for work  in just a few hours I knew there was no time to test a new recipe in the crockpot, so why not in the oven hummm I wonder! so I proceeded to retrieve  a few chicken tenders out of the freezer ,mix a half  bottle of  BBQ sauce , a half jar of orange marmalade ( we had low sugar on hand), the recipe calls for soy sauce so I had to rely on  what few packets from  Chinese takeout leftovers lol!, mix it & spread over the chicken & bake at 350 for about 40 min.

the overall taste was good & I would give this recipe a chance in the crock pot when there’s more time to see how much difference the outcome would be, baking in the oven cause them to swim in the sauce so I turned the oven on broil for the last few min to get it to stick to the chicken, to try something new at the last minute  turned out to be yummy!
