BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

CHICKEN WITH ORANGE AND ONION
In this recipe, adapted from my mother, Annette Gertner, an orange, pith, skin and all, provides a bittersweet counterpoint for tangy onion to season and dress a whole, broken-down chicken that's browned on one side, then baked. Worcestershire sauce binds the flavors with a good amount of umami, while some bits of orange and onion paving the chicken skin caramelize in the oven and enrich the pan sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut orange in half and juice it. You should have at least 2/3 cup of juice. Add Worcestershire sauce. Set aside. Cut orange peel, with pith, into 1-inch pieces. Place orange peel and onion in food processor and pulse to chop fairly fine, or chop both together by hand. Spread half this mixture in a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken snugly in a single layer (a 9-by-13-inch pan should suffice).
- Using a whisk or fork, mix ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste) in a shallow bowl. Season the chicken with it, then dredge chicken pieces in flour to coat only the skin side. Heat butter in a large, heavy skillet on medium high. Brown chicken on skin side and transfer, skin side up, to the baking dish on the bed of orange and onion.
- Pour orange juice, Worcestershire sauce and wine into skillet. Cook on medium for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping up any residue in the skillet. Stir in reserved minced chopped orange peel and onion. Pour over and around chicken. Bake for about 45 minutes, basting a few times, until dark meat juices run clear when pierced with a knife. Serve directly from the baking dish or transfer to a platter and serve.
Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: This will give you more meat and flavor than using just chicken breasts or thighs.
- Season the chicken well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken before baking.
- Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice will give your chicken a brighter, more citrusy flavor than orange juice concentrate.
- Add some vegetables: Roasting vegetables with the chicken is a great way to add some extra flavor and nutrition to your meal. Try roasting carrots, potatoes, onions, or Brussels sprouts.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Baked chicken with orange juice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a slightly sweet and citrusy flavor. The roasted vegetables are a great addition to the meal, and they help to balance out the richness of the chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
