ISRAELI ORANGE CHICKEN
Why I Love This Recipe
Serving Idea: Haroseth makes a good stuffing for this dish....
Ingredients You'll Need
* 5 lb Chicken, roasting
* 2 Oranges, whole
* 1 lg Onion, cut in large slices
* 1/2 c Orange juice, fresh
* 2 tb Ginger, freshly grated
* 2 tb Honey
* 1/2 c Wine
Directions
Rinse and dry chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert one whole orange in the chicken. Place in roasting pan, breast side down. Surround with onion slices.
Mix juice with the ginger, and pour over the chicken. Roast uncovered at 350 degrees F for 1/2 hour.
Remove chicken from the oven, turn over, and smear with honey. Suround the chicken with the second orange, sliced, and return to the oven. After five minutes, baste with wine and pan juices. If browning too quickly, cover with foil. Baste again, after 1/2 hour. continue cooking until drumsticks are removed easily, about 1 more hour.
Remove the orange from the chicken, and slice it. Garnish with herbs, as per taste.
