ROASTED CHICKEN A'LA ORANGE
I had this while on vacation in Key Largo, FL and had to have the recipe. It is a moist and flavorful chicken with a fabulous sauce that is good on just about everything. It is a real crowd pleaser and an instant hit at every table. Add roasted potatoes, some steamed veggies, salad and bread and you will have a wonderful dinner! The recipe calls for 1/4 cup butter, however, I use less and it always comes out perfect.

[email protected]This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was dry and tasteless, and the orange sauce was nothing more than orange juice and cornstarch. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
