12 whole chicken wings
1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Reduce the mixture to about 1/2 cup, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool at least 5 minutes.

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!

SMOKED GLAZED CHICKEN



Smoked Glazed Chicken image

This recipe is a lot of work if you are not "the more ingredients/steps the better" kind of cook. Even if you are not, you'll find it worth it; especially if you are cooking for a large group. In the end, the chicken will taste better than any chicken has a right to--your guests will be speechless. I recommend doing a several whole chickens cut in half, or 1/4 chickens (big thigh/drumstick pieces), and/or whole breasts. The idea is big pieces are best, and all about the same size/thickness. Prep time does not include time spent in the brine, prepping the smoker, the grill, etc. I got the brine recipe off the internet. It's called Don's Poultry Brine and is the best I've ever come across. I use it for brining turkeys as well. You may well ask "why brine at all?" Poultry will get very dry during the smoking process. Brining the poultry will result in tasty, moist meat.

Time 3h

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 gallons water
2 tablespoons pickling spices
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (ground)
1 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons celery salt
3 cups kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple extract
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup cajun seasoning
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
8 lbs chicken

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine the first 10 ingredients, bring to a boil, then let cool.
  • Add maple extract and liquid smoke.
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry.
  • Brine chicken for at least 4 hours. Overnight is fine, but no more than 12 hours.
  • Remove pieces, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
  • Coat with oil and season with Cajun seasoning.
  • Prepare smoker and smoke chicken at 230 degrees for about two hours, basting with mop every 30 minutes.
  • For the mop: Combine vinegar, water, salt, and pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove as set aside.
  • When chicken is nearly done, coat with glaze and move pieces to a hot grill to finish cooking and crisp the skin. This will only take a few minutes per side.
  • For the glaze: Combine 3 parts butter to one part honey. Make as much as you need to finish the job.
  • Remove and serve immediately.
  • Have copies of the recipe available, because you will be asked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat or skin. Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Make the orange glaze: Combine the orange juice, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Smoke the chicken: Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the wood chips of your choice and let the smoker come to temperature. Place the chicken on the smoker grate and cook for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Glaze the chicken: After the chicken has smoked for 2 hours, brush it with the orange glaze. Continue to cook the chicken for another 30 minutes, or until the glaze is set and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Smoked orange glazed chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The smoky flavor of the chicken pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy orange glaze, creating a dish that is both flavorful and juicy. Whether you are cooking for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, smoked orange glazed chicken is sure to be a hit.
