Dutch Oven Orange Roasted Chicken image

An interesting experiment... My goal was to get a bird from oven to table, as fast as possible (no brining) by utilizing a super-hot oven and the closed environment of the dutch oven. The result was a tender, VERY flavorful bird that would lend itself to many variations. Lemon/Oregano, Apple/cinammon, Lime/Cilantro.. etc...

Time 1h20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 -5 lbs roasting chickens, rinsed and trimmed of excess fat
2 medium onions, quartered
1 orange, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil (for the skin)
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees while you're cleaning bird and prepping ingredients.
  • Place a small rack in the bottom of a large dutch oven.
  • Whisk the canola oil and soy sauce in a small bowl, Mix rub seasonings in a bag.
  • Loosen the skin on the chicken with your hands and paint the canola/soy mixture UNDER the skin and in the cavity.
  • Apply dry rub under skin and in cavity, it will stick very well to the soy/oil mix.
  • put two onion quarters and two orange slices in the cavity.
  • Use your hands to rub the last TB of oil all over the bird, Place bird breast side down in the dutch oven, place remaining orange slices& onion quarters around bird.
  • You can toss in the neck and giblets in there too.
  • Put the lid on the dutch oven and bake for 50 mins covered, Remove cover and bake for another 15-20 mins, until internal temp reaches 170 degrees the thickest part of the thigh.
  • Allow to sit, uncovered for 10 mins before serving.
  • The pan drippings make for an outstanding sauce, just deglaze with a bit more orange juice or some white wine, allow to thicken, season, strain and serve.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars instead of 5 because it was a little too sweet for my taste. I'll probably cut back on the amount of orange juice next time.

I substituted brown sugar for the honey and it was still delicious!

The chicken was a little dry. I think I needed to cook it for a shorter amount of time.
