This orangey chicken was the first meal I served my future husband. I chose it because it's easy, but he thought it was amazing and gobbled it up. We were married three months later, so I guess it worked. -Leah Harvath, Heber City, Utah

ROASTED ORANGE ROSEMARY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN



Roasted Orange Rosemary Honey Glazed Chicken image

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.

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!

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup orange juice
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes, basting with orange glaze every 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oranges. This recipe calls for both orange juice and orange zest, so it's important to use a variety of oranges to get the best flavor. A mix of sweet and tart oranges, such as navel oranges and blood oranges, will give your chicken the perfect balance of flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken thighs, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will also make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Chicken thighs with orange juice glaze can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken thighs with orange juice glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the orange glaze adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
