This is a light and easy chicken dish with a brightly-flavored sauce of Mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey. The chicken is then served with the oranges and topped with slivered almonds and chow mein noodles on a bed of rice. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes to prepare and about 30 minutes to cook, so long as you defrosted the chicken ahead of time. Enjoy!

CHICKEN WITH ORANGE AND ONION
In this recipe, adapted from my mother, Annette Gertner, an orange, pith, skin and all, provides a bittersweet counterpoint for tangy onion to season and dress a whole, broken-down chicken that's browned on one side, then baked. Worcestershire sauce binds the flavors with a good amount of umami, while some bits of orange and onion paving the chicken skin caramelize in the oven and enrich the pan sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut orange in half and juice it. You should have at least 2/3 cup of juice. Add Worcestershire sauce. Set aside. Cut orange peel, with pith, into 1-inch pieces. Place orange peel and onion in food processor and pulse to chop fairly fine, or chop both together by hand. Spread half this mixture in a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken snugly in a single layer (a 9-by-13-inch pan should suffice).
- Using a whisk or fork, mix ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste) in a shallow bowl. Season the chicken with it, then dredge chicken pieces in flour to coat only the skin side. Heat butter in a large, heavy skillet on medium high. Brown chicken on skin side and transfer, skin side up, to the baking dish on the bed of orange and onion.
- Pour orange juice, Worcestershire sauce and wine into skillet. Cook on medium for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping up any residue in the skillet. Stir in reserved minced chopped orange peel and onion. Pour over and around chicken. Bake for about 45 minutes, basting a few times, until dark meat juices run clear when pierced with a knife. Serve directly from the baking dish or transfer to a platter and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for the sauce. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Use a light touch with the cornstarch: Too much cornstarch will make the sauce too thick. Add the cornstarch gradually, and stir until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the chicken immediately: The chicken is best served immediately, when it is hot and crispy. If you let the chicken sit for too long, it will become soggy.
Conclusion:
This onion-fried mandarin orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. The dish is also relatively healthy, as it is made with lean chicken and fresh vegetables. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
