Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chicken broth
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
½ cup butter, cut into 1 tablespoon sized pieces
2 navel oranges, halved
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup butter, melted
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh sage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the chicken broth into a small roasting pan, and set aside.
  • Loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs of the chicken. Stuff the butter pieces evenly underneath the skin of the chicken, and place into the roasting pan. Squeeze the orange halves over the chicken, and stuff the orange halves into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then rub in the minced garlic. Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, then lay the herb sprigs onto the breast and around the legs.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and baste the chicken with the pan juices. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Baste the chicken every 10 to 15 minutes after you uncover it. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before slicing.

DUTCH OVEN ORANGE ROAST CHICKEN



Dutch Oven Orange Roast Chicken image

I love using my Fontignac enamel Dutch oven. From that, I created this French country-style chicken dish. The chicken always comes out so moist and tender! Adding potatoes and carrots makes it a full meal in one recipe. It also produces a generous amount of stock for dressing and gravy that night as well as soup or chili with the leftovers the next day. My husband loves it!

Tips:

- Use a variety of oranges. Different types of oranges, such as navel, Valencia, and blood oranges, offer different flavors and colors to your dish. - Zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. - Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're roasting a lot of chicken pieces, use a large roasting pan so that the pieces can cook evenly. - Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. - Baste the chicken with the orange juice mixture every 20 minutes or so. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. - Let the chicken rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Orange roast chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy skin, juicy meat, and tangy orange flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a simple but impressive meal, give orange roast chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
