Ready In :45min

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce *I added just a bit more*
  
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar *I added an extra 1/2*
  
• 1 tablespoon honey * I used 2 tablespoons*
  
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil * I found 1/2 cup to be a bit to much...*
  
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into strips

DIRECTIONS

1. Stir together soy sauce, orange juice, hot pepper sauce, vanilla, brown sugar, and honey until dissolved. Season with minced garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Whisk in sesame oil and vegetable oil until combined.
2. Toss chicken with marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Adjust oven rack to its top position, and turn oven on to Broil.
4. Place chicken into a baking dish or baking sheet. Broil until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn chicken over, and continue broiling until no longer pink, about 5 minutes more.

I cooked the chicken as it says above, but I didn't leave any liquid in the baking pan, so the chicken dried out. I made a sauce with the marinade and served with chinese egg noodles. Next time I make it, I'm going to just cook the chicken on the stove in the marinade and see how it turns out.

Let me know if you try it and what you did differently.
