Since we have an orange tree, I am always trying to think of ways to use oranges. This Roasted Orange Ginger Chicken is juicy on the inside and served with liquid gold pan juices loaded with flavor. The chicken is basted in a deliciously bright and citrusy orange-ginger sauce and makes a great weeknight meal.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 1 hrs 35 mins
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

1 large chicken

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

zest of 2 oranges, finely grated

4 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated

½ cup chicken stock

4 oranges cut into wedges

olive oil

ground ginger

3 tablespoons brown sugar

salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

1Mix the stock, orange juice, zest, garlic and ginger. Pour this over and into the cavity of the chicken. Season the chicken well with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes.

2Toss the orange wedges in olive oil, some salt and pepper. Sprinkle over a little ground ginger and the brown sugar.

3At 45 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and baste it with the juices then place the orange slices around the chicken and return it to roast for another 45 minutes and until it’s golden brown all over. You may want to cover it with foil at this point to prevent the chicken from getting to brown.
