CHICKEN WITH ORANGE AND ONION



Chicken With Orange and Onion image

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.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 orange
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 medium-large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) frying chicken, cut in 10 pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry white wine

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 heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken to the pot, it will not cook evenly and the sauce will be too thin.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of chicken to cook, cook it in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pot.
  • Use a good quality orange marmalade: The quality of the orange marmalade will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
  • Don't boil the sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. If you boil the sauce, it will thicken too much and become too sweet.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Chicken l'orange is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it is important to serve it while it is still hot.

Conclusion:

Chicken l'orange is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is irresistible, and the chicken is always moist and tender. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight meal, chicken l'orange is sure to be a hit.
