Instructions

Cook the chicken nuggets according to the package instructions until golden brown.
Drain any excess oil by placing the hot nuggets on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, orange marmalade, and soy sauce. Stir until well blended.
If using, add the sesame oil to the glaze and mix again.
Pour the glaze over the cooked chicken nuggets and toss to coat evenly.
Serve warm.

Notes

For an extra crispy texture, use tempura-style or popcorn chicken.
Use a gluten-free tamari as an alternative to traditional soy sauce.
For better storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
