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!

  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin.
  • Baste the chicken with the glaze every 15 minutes. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.

Oven-baked orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
