"The recipe says 'fresh orange juice,' does that mean Tropicana's "squeezed from fresh oranges" or frozen juice in the tube?" was the question that I called my sister with while cooking tonight's dinner. This may seem like a silly question to those of you who are veteran cooks but as a newly married, twenty-year-old, who has little experience in the kitchen, I had no idea. Needless to say, I was caught off guard when my sister's response was "No, it means you squeeze the juice out of orange yourself." But, I hadn't bought oranges-- I bought orange juice AND Old Orchard's frozen concentrate (I wanted to be prepared)! I had 21 minutes and 34 seconds to get the sauce together before it was time to get the chicken out of the oven to smother it in sauce, and then to return the chicken to the oven. Travis to the rescue! He came back 18 minutes later, arms holding 3 large oranges.
Although the chicken got a longer than planned break from the oven, our Orange Chicken turned out great!
Here's the link for the recipe--trust me, it was worth the confusion! :)

Yum! This looks really good and it looks like Travis likes it.
