Since my firstborn moved out earlier this year, one of the highlights of my week has been to cook for him and his roomies. I was going to do BBQ chicken and mac and cheese, but turns out they've been eating way too much stuff cooked in BBQ sauce because they just got themselves a slow cooker and slow cooking things in BBQ sauce was their first slow cooker discovery... ...so Orange Chicken Stew it was! And a big batch because young adult males have a lot of capacity. ;) If you don't have fresh oranges to zest, no biggie. The zest does give it a little extra orange flavor, but you can just do OJ in a pinch. (Or even throw in a Tablespoon or two of marmalade if you have it, but you’ll want to reduce the sugar by a Tablespoon or two to balance it out.)

Ingredients and spices that need to be Make ready to make Big Batch Orange Chicken Stew:

1. 5 pounds chicken pieces (We prefer drums and thighs.)
2. 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
3. 4-6 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4. zest of a small orange
5. 1 cup orange juice
6. 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
7. 3/4-1 cup packed brown sugar, depending on how sweet you like things
8. 2-4 Tablespoons sriracha, depending on how hot you like things
9. optional: 5 or 6 thin slices fresh ginger OR 1 teaspoon ginger powder
10. optional: 1 to 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar if you like extra tang

Instructions to make to make Big Batch Orange Chicken Stew

1. In a large Dutch oven (or saute pan as was the case today), lay your chicken on a single layer if possible, skin side up, along with the rest of the ingredients *except. Cover, turn the heat to medium high, and let it begin to come to a simmer. This should take 7 minutes or so, depending on the weather, how cold your chicken is, and how hot your stove gets.
2. Once the liquid is simmering, stir in the brown sugar and sriracha.
3. Let everything come up to a boil for a minute or two, then turn the heat down to medium low and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes. 15 for smaller pieces of chicken, and up to 20 for larger pieces.
4. Then flip the chicken pieces over so they're skin side down, keeping the heat at medium low, and simmer, lid askew, for another 15 to 20 minutes
5. Then flip the chicken skin side up again, turn the heat up to medium, and simmer, *un*covered, for another 15 to 20 minutes. This will reduce the sauce and intensify all the flavors. If you have the time and energy, you might like to baste the skin from time to time with the sauce.
6. Garnish with fresh orange slices and chopped green onions and cilantro if you like and enjoy!
