You’ll need 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken breasts can easily be substituted) for each marinade. So if you’re prepping for yourself and for your family/boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/best friend, you can make either two of the three marinades or all three – that way you can mix it up without having orange chicken every single day.

Yes, sometimes there’s such a thing as too much orange chicken.

All marinades are super easy to whip up with easy-to-find ingredients you already have on hand. Let them marinate for 2-8 hours and throw into a skillet (separate skillets for separate marinades) until tender and golden brown, letting them simmer in those fantastic juices.

Serve with desired veggies, grains, and/or protein for your favorite salad.
