We love chicken and noodles and sometimes a little flavour other than Italian. This easy Asian Chicken And Noodles has a simple sauce made with ingredients from any pantry. My grandson loves it and calls it sticker chicken and of course he enjoys the pasta. The sauce like many recipes of this type is a combination of sweet and sour.
In Italy I noticed that there is a real craving for Asian food and there is a fusion of Italian and Asian. I think that Italians like to experiment now and try new flavours that add to their choices at home and in restaurants. The sweet and sour flavours are part of the Italian cuisine.

Ingredients For Asian Chicken and Noodles
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 14 chicken legs ( I have also used thighs for this)
- salt and peeper
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup each of orange juice, tomato ketchup and soy sauce
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic ( sliced)
- red pepper chilly flakes ( optional)
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 6 tbsp water
- 1 pack spaghetti ( 450 gr)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
Process
Salt and pepper the chicken.
Place the chicken in a sauté pan and sear. In a bowl whisk together the sugar water orange juice soy sauce ketchup vinegar and garlic. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Place the chicken in a 375 Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with the water and poured over the chicken. Return the chicken to the oven for another 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Turn the broiler on high for five minutes.
Place over some noodles and sautéed vegetables. To make the noodles I boiled the spaghetti and tossed it with the garlic oil and then added the thawed frozen vegetables and tossed.
