Orange Chicken Meatloaf
One of our favorite Asian dishes is Orange Chicken. And who doesn’t love a good meatloaf? We married these two for a simple sweet and savory crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
-
1½ pounds ground chicken
-
1 egg
-
½ cup evaporated milk
-
¾ cup plain panko breadcrumbs
-
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon freshly zested ginger
-
3 tablespoons low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons white pepper
-
Juice and zest of 1 orange
-
Toasted sesame seeds or Everything Bagel seasoning
Glaze
-
1 cup orange marmalade
-
⅓ cup thick BBQ sauce (we used NC’s Bone Suckin’ Sweet Southern)
-
⅓ cup rice vinegar
-
3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all loaf ingredients except seeds. Let stand 5 minutes. Whisk together glaze ingredients. Mound loaf mixture onto a parchment- paper-lined baking pan. Using fingers, poke indentions on top to hold the glaze while baking. Baste with half of the glaze and sprinkle with seeds.
-
Bake about 30 minutes until 165 degrees in center. Remove from oven and brush with glaze. Pass the extra for spooning.
Note: We prefer to not use a loaf pan so there is more exposed area for a “crispy” crust.
