BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN



Baked Orange-Glazed Chicken image

One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

Baked Orange Chicken and Brown Rice image

This high-protein, whole-grain dish is easy to throw together. We love using chicken thighs, because they're budget friendly and stay moist while baking with the rice.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup brown basmati rice
Zest and juice of 2 navel oranges
Kosher salt
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onions, chicken broth, rice, 1/4 cup of the orange juice, 2 teaspoons of the orange zest, 1 tablespoon of oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a 2-quart baking dish and stir to combine.
  • Toss the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Nestle the chicken into the rice mixture. Cover the dish with foil and transfer it to the oven, being careful not to spill.
  • Bake for 55 minutes. Remove the foil and drizzle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Continue to bake until most of the liquid has been absorbed, the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender, about 50 minutes more.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining orange juice. Sprinkle the mint, pine nuts and desired amount of remaining orange zest over the dish and serve.

ROASTED ORANGE CHICKEN



Roasted Orange Chicken image

Whole tangerines, peel and all, roast alongside chicken in a sweetened soy sauce that thickens into a glaze and lacquers the bird. The fruit wedges soften in the syrupy sauce while infusing it with their floral bittersweetness. Reminiscent of savory Cantonese soy sauce chicken and tangy American Chinese orange chicken, this dish also combines the warmth of ginger with the bit of heat from ground hot chiles. You can eat the tangerine wedges along with the chicken, which is delicious with its sauce over steamed rice or boiled noodles. Serve with stir-fried brussels sprouts or bok choy.

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 small tangerines or clementines
1/2 packed cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cayenne or other hot red ground chile
1 (4-pound) whole chicken
Salt and black pepper
8 slices peeled fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl; reserve the spent peels. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wingtips behind the body. Stuff the tangerine peels and 6 ginger slices into the cavity, then tie the legs together using kitchen twine. Place in a large ovenproof skillet, and scatter the tangerine wedges and remaining 2 slices ginger around the chicken.
  • Slowly pour the juice mixture all over the chicken, then slide the skillet into the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Using a large spoon or baster, quickly and carefully coat the chicken with the pan sauce. Continue roasting, basting every 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 155 degrees and, in the leg, 170 degrees. The chicken will continue to cook while it rests.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. If the pan sauce isn't already syrupy, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Be sure to wear oven mitts or use a kitchen towel to hold the skillet (the handle is hot). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles grow larger and paler brown, and the sauce is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
  • Serve the chicken whole or carved with the glaze poured all over the meat. Arrange the tangerine wedges from the pan around the bird. You can eat them, if you'd like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken breasts for this recipe. If using a whole chicken, cut it into 8 pieces.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of orange juice, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse it with flavor.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Baste the chicken with the orange juice mixture: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with roasted vegetables: Roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish for baked chicken with orange juice.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken with orange juice is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of orange juice, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil, then roasted at a high temperature until crispy and juicy. The orange juice mixture is also used to baste the chicken while it is roasting, which helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Serve the chicken with roasted vegetables for a delicious and healthy meal.
