Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is done.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
- For a crispy skin, roast the chicken at a high temperature for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- To prevent the oranges from drying out, baste the chicken with the pan juices every 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
