Orange Chicken

 

Denise shared a recipe for slow cooker crockpot orange chicken which inspired me to make this stove top version.  It was delicious and here is my recipe:

2 lbs chicken legs

2-3 tbs rice flour

2-3 olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

4 tbs ketchup

2 tbs white vinegar

1 cup orange juice

4 tbs brown sugar

coat chicken legs with rice flour, save excess rice flour

in a bowl mix orange juice, sugar, vinegar, salt, ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, excess rice flour

brown chicken legs in oil

add sauce mix and simmer covered for 40 minutes.  Enjoy served with rice or pasta.

Shark Finning

 Son K was telling me how endangered sharks are due to shark finning.  He saw a program on National Geographic featuring Gordon Ramsey.  This celebrity is working toward having shark finning banned and spreading necessary awareness of this practice. K says baby sharks, all kinds of sharks, have their fins ripped off and are left to die a slow painful death.  The fins are then sold and enjoyed as high status soups or whatever.   Were you aware of the horrors of this?
