Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of orange juice to loosen the glaze.
Fresh orange juice gives the brightest flavor, but bottled works in a pinch.
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
