Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons orange zest plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 cups broccoli florets (about 2 pounds)
4 shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 oranges, grated and supremed (white pith cut away and segments cut free from their membranes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the marmalade, orange zest and juice, orange liqueur, vinegar, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  • Pull the side flaps of overhanging skin taut underneath the chicken on each side to make the thighs into nice, tight packages. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up in a single layer in the center of the lined baking sheet.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of the orange sauce over each piece of chicken. Roast for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the broccoli and shallots together in a medium bowl with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon another tablespoon of the sauce over the top of the chicken. Arrange the broccoli and shallots around the chicken on the baking sheet. Continue to toast until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and shallots are soft and caramelized, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with the orange segments and zest.

ROASTED CHICKEN A'LA ORANGE



Roasted Chicken A'la Orange image

I had this while on vacation in Key Largo, FL and had to have the recipe. It is a moist and flavorful chicken with a fabulous sauce that is good on just about everything. It is a real crowd pleaser and an instant hit at every table. Add roasted potatoes, some steamed veggies, salad and bread and you will have a wonderful dinner! The recipe calls for 1/4 cup butter, however, I use less and it always comes out perfect.

CHICKEN WITH SHERRY ALA ORANGE SAUCE



Chicken With Sherry Ala Orange Sauce image

This recipe is very easy to put together and makes a lovely presentation. You can get it ready early on and pop it in the oven 40 minutes before dinner. Great for Sunday dinner or for a special guest dinner. I like adding the Grand Marnier but it is optional. It just gives an added flavor boost. If you do not like spicy use regular smoked Paprika and sub green peppers for the Jalapeno.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken rather than seared chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and is cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is thickened: The orange sauce should be thickened before serving. You can thicken the sauce by adding a cornstarch slurry or by reducing the sauce over low heat.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken ala orange is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will become tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken ala orange is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a restaurant-quality chicken ala orange at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken ala orange a try.
