GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN THIGHS
This orangey chicken was the first meal I served my future husband. I chose it because it's easy, but he thought it was amazing and gobbled it up. We were married three months later, so I guess it worked. -Leah Harvath, Heber City, Utah

GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN BREASTS
This chicken has a wonderful flavor and the citrus makes it nice and tender. Plan ahead, because it does need to marinade 1-2 hours. We enjoy using the leftover chicken on top of mixed green salads. Prep time does not include maridading. Grilling time is estimated.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. Make sure the chicken is evenly thick so that it cooks evenly.
- Use a good quality orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice will give your chicken a brighter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh oranges, use 100% orange juice with no added sugar.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the orange juice and herbs will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning or drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade: Basting the chicken with the marinade will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Grilled chicken is best served immediately, while it is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Grilled Chicken a l'Orange is a delicious and easy to make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful orange juice and herb marinade, then grilled to perfection. The result is a moist, juicy chicken with a slightly tangy and sweet flavor. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
