ROASTED ORANGE ROSEMARY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN
This is always a hit when I make it for dinner parties and Boxing Day dinner because the chicken is always fall-off-the-bone juicy and people love the glaze. People always go for seconds! You may quarter 2 chickens instead if you aren't able to get just legs from your butcher, but I find the legs are juicier and save money. Serve this dish with fragrant rice and dilled carrots or roasted asparagus.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and place in a large glass or plastic bowl.
- Whisk together honey, orange juice, butter, rosemary, orange zest, and garlic. Pour orange mixture over chicken; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chicken legs in a single layer in a roasting pan; pour orange mixture over chicken.
- Roast for 30 minutes in the preheated oven; reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Baste chicken with pan juices every 20 minutes until chicken is a deep orange brown color, no longer pink at the bone, and juices run clear, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
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!

BREADED ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN
Adopted from Kraft Magazine. A nice change of pace from the standard baked breaded chicken. Usually I don't worry about how to serve a dish but they recommended making a really light dressing and placing the chicken on a bed of spinach leaves with this dressing. It was yummy and I'm glad I took that extra step.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Spread chicken breasts with 2 tbls of the marmalade.
- Empty coating mix into shallow dish and add chicken, turning to evenly coat both sides.
- Place chicken in a 13x9" baking dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (180°F).
- Mix dressing and remaining marmalade and add to spinach; tossing to coat.
- Place spinach evenly on 4 serving plates.
- Place one chicken breast on each plate and add mandarin oranges around the edges of the plate, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right oranges. For the best flavor, use navel or Valencia oranges. These oranges are sweet and juicy, with a thin rind that is easy to zest.
- Use fresh orange zest. Fresh orange zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the chicken. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use dried orange zest, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them until they are just cooked through. The best way to do this is to use a meat thermometer. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the breading is crispy. The breading is what gives the chicken its crunchy texture. To make sure the breading is crispy, cook the chicken over medium-high heat and don't overcrowd the pan.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Breaded orange-glazed chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, rice, roasted vegetables, and salad.
Conclusion:
Breaded orange-glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, with a crispy breading and a sweet and tangy orange glaze. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
