CITRUS PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to approximately 250 or 300 degrees. Halve chicken(s) discarding backs (or save for stock). Season chicken halves with Chinese five-spice powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt after rubbing with soft butter and drizzling with olive oil. Roast chicken for about 45 minutes, tenting if it appears that the chicken is browning too fast. Toward the end of the roasting time, heat more olive oil in a large sauce pan until hot but not smoking. Sautee the garlic and ginger until they start to give off their combined aroma - but do not brown either. Halve the orange and juice it, removing any seeds. Add to the soft garlic and ginger mixture. Reduce slightly. Add dollop of honey with the plum jam and stock. Whisk to combine and allow to further reduce a very small amount until you have a pourable consistency. Finish off with butter or margarine until smooth. Add more juice if needed. Pour 3/4´s of the jam mixture over the chicken and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Add remaining mixture and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. It is important here to pay attention to the chicken so that it does not burn or brown overly much. Should it appear that the glaze is browning too much, retent with foil. As soon as the glaze has set, remove chicken and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Great dish with Thai sticky rice or a vegetable pasta dish. The prep time is minimal, and this makes a great meal to impress guests although the work involved was quick and easy.

[email protected]I'm allergic to citrus, so I substituted the orange juice and lemon juice for pineapple juice. It turned out great!

[email protected]I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

[email protected]This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts on the weekend and then used them to make this dish during the week.
