Remove rind pieces from orange and lemon with a vegetable peeler and rough chop. Heat a saute or skillet large enough to just hold the meat pieces.

Spray. Sear to lightly brown the chicken pieces, both sides.

Meanwhile combine all the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup (or bowl with spout). Pour into the hot pan and let the liquid boil a bit to cook the thickener. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and cook gently for 15
minutes. Serve with the cooking juices.

Add WATER (1/4 to 1/2 cup) or more apple juice to moisten the sauce.

Menu
* The sauce is spicy, biting and sweet. Taste is similar to some versions of Pad Thai - so serve with noodles or angle hair spaghetti or with hot steamed white rice (either long or medium grain). A dark green vegetable or medley that includes one would also be a good choice. . -

Variation (See JP-note): use dark meat; a thigh with attached leg; remove skin. Sear, add sauce, and simmer until done about 35 to 40 mins total
