Easy Roasted Orange Chicken

A roasted version of that yummy sweet and tangy chicken dish we've all come to love.
You can use maple syrup or agave instead of honey or, as I did today, use up all your Popeye's Fried Chicken Honey Sauce packets. :P

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put all marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir until honey is dissolved.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, or casserole dish, or Ziploc bag, combine the chicken with the marinade and give it a few gentle tosses to thoroughly season all the chicken. If in a bowl or dish, you should flip the chicken halfway through the marinating time so both sides are seasoned through.
- 3
Marinate chicken for at least one hour and up to overnight and take it out of the fridge 30 to 40 minutes before roasting to bring it up to room temp.
- 4
Preheat oven to 425F.
- 5
Put your chicken on a single layer, skin side up, on a sheet pan. (You might like to line it with foil for easier cleanup.) Reserve leftover marinade.
- 6
Roast chicken for 30 minutes at first, then pour leftover marinade over chicken, place orange slices on the pan as well, and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

Enjoy! :)

Slow Cooker Orange Chicken Slow Cooker Orange Chicken
I used to make this on the stovetop all of the time. I liked it, but it was too, too sweet at times.Taking a chance, I took my recipe for slow cooker General Tso's chicken, switched out the hoisin sauce and used orange marmalade instead.It is perfect. The curry powder offsets the sweetness and makes a nice balance. I also use aminos acid, instead of soy sauce. It is so much better. Nicer flavor.You can coat the crock pot with oil, but you really should use a liner. It gets very sticky.Enjoy! J.A.B. -
