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 good quality ginger. Fresh ginger is best, but you can also use ground ginger if you're in a pinch. Just be sure to use a generous amount, as the ginger is what really gives this dish its flavor.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of sear, and it won't be as flavorful. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Use a high heat when cooking the chicken. This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the flavor. If you don't have a high-heat pan, you can use a regular pan over medium-high heat.
- Serve the chicken immediately. This dish is best served hot off the grill or stovetop. If you're making it ahead of time, you can reheat it in the oven or microwave, but it won't be as good as when it's fresh.
Conclusion:
This ginger marinated chicken with onions and peppers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The ginger marinade gives the chicken a flavorful and slightly spicy taste, while the onions and peppers add a nice sweetness and crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
