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 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.
