This whole roasted chicken turns out terrifically flavorful and tender, and the broth left in the bottom is a perfect gravy in itself!

Provided by Nellie Fiorenzi

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. If you use bone-in chicken, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade. The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and keep it moist during grilling. To ensure even coverage, place the chicken in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the chicken, then seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Grill the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Orange sage grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the chicken with a citrusy, savory flavor, and the grilling process creates a slightly charred exterior and juicy interior. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
