Oman today_ To prepare Smoky Orange Sauce Chicken, first gather the ingredients: 500 grams of chicken pieces, 2 medium chopped onions, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 50 grams dried plums (prunes), 1 cup fresh orange juice, and two pieces of charcoal for the smoky flavor.
Start by heating the oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onions until they become soft and golden. Then add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt, turmeric, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken until it starts to brown slightly.
Rinse the dried plums and add them to the chicken, then pour in the fresh orange juice. Let the mixture simmer gently until the sauce thickens. To create the smoky flavor, heat the charcoal directly over heat until glowing, place it in a small heatproof container, and set it in the middle of the pan beside the chicken. Drizzle a little oil or spices onto the charcoal to produce smoke, then quickly cover the pan to trap the smoke and infuse the dish.
After a few minutes, remove the lid and allow the sauce to thicken a bit more. The Smoky Orange Sauce Chicken is now ready to serve. Enjoy it with rice or bread for a delightful combination of tangy orange and distinctive smoky aroma, offering a unique culinary experience.
