How to Make Orange Marmalade BBQ Chicken
Orange Marmalade Barbeque Chicken is the perfect main dinner recipe for a busy weeknight meal.
Seriously, the only thing you need to do is combine the ingredients and spoon the mixture over your chicken as you are grilling it. It really could not get any easier than that!
I love the combination of the smokiness of the barbeque sauce and then paired with the citrus flavor and sweetness of the orange marmalade.
Brand preference is not a big deal so you can use whichever you like. Homemade is always a good choice, but store bought also works in this case.
The beauty of this is that based on which barbecue sauce you choose will determine the true flavor of your chicken.

Sounds delicious and easy BUT I don't own a slow cooker. Is there any other way to make this? Oven?
Many thanks.
Hi Iris,
Yes -- you can totally make this in the oven. You can also grill it and just slather the sauce on as you would BBQ sauce while you are cooking your chicken! Hope you enjoy!
What size orange marmalade?
It's the small jar at the store. I think it's like a 14 ounce size jar.
How long do I cook the chicken? and what temperature do I set the oven to .
