Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350ºF.
- Cut the lemon into quarters. Rub the outside of the chicken with one of the lemon quarters, then discard. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon and orange zests and 1 tablespoon of the grated ginger. Rub this mixture evenly in the cavity. Put the lemon and orange quarters inside the bird. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper. In the now-empty small bowl, combine the melted margarine or olive oil, lemon and orange juices, honey, and the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger. Mix well.
- Place the chicken in the oven and roast, basting with the citrus juice mixture at least 4 times during cooking, until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
- Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve the chicken. Garnish with orange sections.
- Variation: Use 4 tablespoons pomegranate juice in place of the lemon juice.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the chicken broth into a small roasting pan, and set aside.
- Loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs of the chicken. Stuff the butter pieces evenly underneath the skin of the chicken, and place into the roasting pan. Squeeze the orange halves over the chicken, and stuff the orange halves into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then rub in the minced garlic. Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, then lay the herb sprigs onto the breast and around the legs.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and baste the chicken with the pan juices. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Baste the chicken every 10 to 15 minutes after you uncover it. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400deg F.
- In a large pan, place the chicken, potatoes, onions, red pepper, and the optional ingredients (if you're using them), and drizzle all the spices and olive oil on top, and mix well to coat everything (I recommend doing this with latex gloves as the turmeric can be a real pain to take off of skin!).
- Relayer so that the chicken skin side is up and that all the chicken is on one layer. Add the tomato slices (or whole cherry tomatoes).
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about an hour. Baste with juices mid-way if you like, and ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through (may need more time if pieces are large).
- It's ready when a fork easily breaks the potatoes, and the chicken is soft.
- Remove foil, and broil for 3-5minutes until chicken skin and potatoes are crispy on top (careful not to burn!).
- Enjoy!

APPLE CIDER BRISKET
From "Adventures in Jewish Cooking" by Jeffrey Nathan. I found this in the paper. Cook and serve the NEXT day which I didn't include in the cook time.*Variation in "Jewish Cookery" by Leah H. Leonard is similar but instead of using rosemary and thyme for the spices, her recipe uses 1/8 tsp. ginger, 1/8 tsp. allspice and 2 bay leaves instead. Just thought I'd post this here too.

Steps:
- Position rack in the center of the oven and heat to 325 dgrees F.
- heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or small roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and cook, turning once until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the onions to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, just until softened, about 5 minutes. Place the brisket on top of the onions, add the cider and molasses and sprinkle with the garlic and herbs. If necessary, add more cider (or even water) to almost cover the brisket. Bring to a simmer then cover tightly and place in the oven and bake for 3 hours or until fork tender.
- Uncover and let the brisket cool in the pot. Cover and refrigerate until the next day.
- Scrape off and discard any hardened fat on the surface of the cooking liquid. Transfer meat to a carving board and slice thinly against the grain.
- Meanwhile, bring the cooking liquid to a boil over high heat. Taste and if the flavor needs concentrating, simmer for a few minutes to evaporate excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the sliced brisket to the liquid , reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer until heated through. Serve hot with the onions.

Tips:
- Use the right chicken: A whole chicken is best for this recipe, and a 3-4 pound chicken will yield about 6 servings.
- Prepare the chicken properly: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the spices and marinade adhere to the chicken.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for this recipe is made with a blend of olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, ginger, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly. Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and continue roasting for another 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Conclusion:
This Sephardic Roast Chicken with Orange, Lemon, and Ginger is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a blend of citrus juices, ginger, garlic, and spices, then roasted until it is cooked through. The result is a moist and tender chicken with a crispy skin and a delicious flavor. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
