This was so easy! I am mostly vegetarian and have been for years so my experience cooking meat of any kind is exceptionally limited but this was still so simple. I did it in the oven following the directions that someone else gave here: bake at 350 covered for 15 minutes on each side, then uncovered for the remaining 20-30 minutes at 400, flipping occassionally and brushing with sauce each time you flip. My pan had lots of juices at the end of it and the chicken itself was very moist. You could really taste the orange flavor and the balsamic gave it a nice tanginess. I left out the sage because I just didn't have any and the chives because my dad hates them. I served it with almond rice pilaf from this site, honey-glazed carrots and roasted baby potatoes (I love my carbs). My entire family loved it although my sister noted that she would cut down on the balsamic or use a little more marmalade. I, however, loved it as it was and will definately make again soon. One last thing, I didn't use Garlic salt as I didn't have any and used a garlic paste instead but instead of rubbing the chicken with it (my hands would smell for days), I added about a teaspoon of the garlic paste to the sauce.

I made this last night and it was yummy! I baked the chicken in the oven as I didn't have a grill and the sauce carmalized very nicely. Thank you!

It's funny cuz the sauce tasted so good... but none of it actually went IN to the chicken. i cut down the recipe in half, but followed directions directly. doubled the amount of garlic salt called for and baked the thighs in the oven instead of grilling. i can proudly say that i failed at producing this dish, but it's ok. i'm not going to give it up yet. when i come up with a good way of incorporating the sauce, i'll repost! i'm thinking pounded, deboned thighs. thanks for the recipe KitchenKing

I am not sure I'll try this one again. I am not a big fan of sage so I did cut that in 1/2, there wasn't that strong of an orange flavor. If I do try it again I'll probably add some orange zest. Not bad... just OK.

I hate to be mean but I did not care for this recipe. I was a little reluctant to make it because of a few negative reviews from "Expert's" but I figured that I would give it a try because I love Orange Chicken. The flavors just don't work, too much balsamic flavor - not enough orange flavor. Dinner was saved by adding Sweet & Sour sauce to it.

I cook chicken at least twice a week, so am always looking for something different. I was intrigued by the combination of marmalade and balsamic, so decided to try it. We loved it! Very easy, and very delicious!

I followed the recipe (aside from cooking in the oven as opposed to the grill) and just found the dish okay. I think I was hoping for the Chinese restaurant Orange chicken. This sauce was fairly runny and not as thick as I was hoping. The chicken didn't really seem to soak up the flavor like I was hoping. We may try again and just add some more spices and marinate the chicken to see if that helps. Thanks!

We love this recipe. It was easy to make and tasted great! It's winter here so I didn't grill the chicken. Instead I butterflied some chicken breasts and lightly floured them, pan-seared each side until it was golden brown, poured the sauce over and baked in the oven. A definite keeper! 6/16/09: This time I made this on the grill and it wasn't as great. I think that butterflying the chicken and cooking it in the oven allowed the flavors to infuse more into the chicken. The family agrees that grilled this only deserves 4 stars.

we used tenders for this recipe. i marinated the chicken in some of the glaze for about 3 hours, then basted it when grilling. i forgot to reserve some for dipping but it didn't need it. i had guest over and they raved about it. its a keeper!

Very good, I cut the chicken into 2" chunks, and marinated for 1 day, then baked it in the marinade, when it was done I put the chicken over brown rice and reduced the marinade/juices and poured over the top. Very flavorful but by no means overpowering, serve w/ steamed pea pods, and honey ginger carrots (on this website). Thanks!

Tangy, easy, and delicious. I used Quorn (fake chicken) and omitted the chives because I didn't happen to have any handy. I added minced garlic and crushed red peppers to the marmalade and vinegar mixture to give it a little more punch. Lastly, I broiled the "chicken" rather than grilling it. I served this with homemade mashed potatoes and rolls and it was delicious. The 15 year old in my home ate every bite so he adds his implicit stamp of approval. ;)

I thought this recipe was very good. I had some leftover baked chicken that was breaded and wanted something to put on top so I made this orange sauce and thought it was great. I read some of the reviews before I made it and did cut down on the vinegar by almost half and thought it had a great taste to it. I didn't have any sage so I omitted that and still thought it was great. I will definitely make this sauce again. Thank you for sharing.

This recipe is fantastic. What a different taste to chicken. I had to make some changes because I am a diabetic, I used sugar free marmalade, Raspberry Pecan Vinagrette in place of the balsamic because it was all that I had. My father (also a diabetic) loved it. Very nice change... I will use this recipe again and again. Yummmmmm

Perhaps I did something wrong...I followed the recipe. Just the smell of the balsamic mixture was horrible. I thought it'd taste better when done but it didn't. All I tasted was vinegar. No orange flavor what so ever. I even made an orange sauce out of more marmalade, fresh oranges and orange juice and soaked chicken in it, nothing could get rid of that horrible vinegar taste. Will never do this again.

Easy to follow recipe, good taste. I think that next time I might marinate the chicken in the mixture and also baste it. I wanted more of the orange flavor.
