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!

ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN



Orange-Glazed Chicken image

Categories     Chicken     Mustard     Roast     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Orange     Jam or Jelly     Soy Sauce     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup sweet orange marmalade
1 tablespoon hot mustard
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 1/2 pound chicken pieces (with skin and bones)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan with foil, then oil foil.
  • Stir together marmalade, mustard, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast chicken, skin sides up, in baking pan until golden and just cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Turn broiler on and spoon marmalade mixture over chicken, then broil chicken until glaze is bubbling and browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice imparts a brighter, more vibrant flavor to the glaze than store-bought juice.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: Orange zest adds a lovely citrusy aroma and flavor to the glaze.
  • Use a good quality honey: A good quality honey will have a richer flavor and will help to thicken the glaze.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Baste the chicken frequently: Basting the chicken with the glaze will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Orange glazed chicken is best served immediately, while the glaze is still warm and sticky.

Conclusion:

This recipe for quick orange glazed chicken is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the orange glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Serve it with rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad for a complete meal.
