Steps:
- Place a large rimmed baking sheet in oven; preheat oven to 425°F. (Do not remove baking sheet while oven preheats.) Thinly slice 1 ½ of the oranges; place in a large bowl. Squeeze juice from remaining orange half into a small bowl to equal 2 tablespoons; set aside. Add potato wedges and ¼ cup of the rosemary leaves to orange slices; stir to combine. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, ¾ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper; toss to coat. Scatter potato mixture evenly over preheated pan; bake until starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, skin side down; cook until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken; continue cooking until golden brown on both sides, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to baking sheet with potato mixture; return to oven. Bake at 425°F until potatoes are browned and tender and a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken thighs registers 165°F, 12 to 15 more minutes.
- While chicken and potatoes finish baking, whisk together vinegar, honey, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; set aside. Remove baking sheet from oven; scatter olives, scallions, and shaved cheese over chicken and potatoes. Drizzle with juice mixture; sprinkle with remaining rosemary.
ORANGE-ROSEMARY CHICKEN
This quick and easy recipe comes from chef Eberhard Mueller of Bayard's in New York City. The chicken gets its aromatic flavor from the combination of fresh rosemary, lemon juice, and freshly squeezed orange juice, while the basmati rice's natural nutty aroma is enhanced with cinnamon and clove.

Tips:
- To achieve optimal flavor, select plump and juicy oranges with vibrant color. Avoid any oranges that appear dull or have blemishes.
- Choose fresh rosemary sprigs with vibrant green leaves and a fragrant aroma. Remove any woody stems before use.
- When preparing the chicken, ensure it is thoroughly patted dry to enhance the crispness of the skin during cooking.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors. You may adjust the amount of salt and pepper based on your personal preference.
- To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust, brown the chicken in a hot skillet with melted butter. Avoid overcrowding the skillet, as this can result in steamed rather than browned chicken.
- Once the chicken is browned, transfer it to a baking dish. Pour the orange-rosemary sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Roast the chicken in a preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature.
- While the chicken is roasting, baste it with the orange-rosemary sauce every 15-20 minutes. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
