SPICED ORANGE ROAST CHICKEN
Pop this one-dish wonder in the oven for Sunday lunch and you'll be able to relax while it becomes infused with a delicious citrus flavour. I'd probably whisk the juice mixture together before adding it to the chicken, just to make sure the honey is well incorporated. Prep time is 15 mins plus 1 hour marinating time. Use 5 tablespoons to measure 80ml. Source: Australian Good Taste magazine September 2006
