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!

Time 2h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small onions, quartered, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium orange
1 cup fresh parsley sprigs
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken
1 tablespoon lemon and herb seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 small red potatoes, halved
1 (8 ounce) package baby carrots
⅓ cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium heat. Lightly saute 1/2 of the onions and 2 cloves garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Place the orange, remaining onion quarters, and parsley in the cavity of the chicken. Tie the legs together with string and place in the Dutch oven. Sprinkle lemon and herb seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper evenly over top. Add potatoes, carrots, wine, and sauteed onion blend around chicken.
  • Cook over low heat until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven and roast until skin is crispy, about 15 minutes. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was cooked well, but the orange glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the orange glaze was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a great way to change up your usual roast chicken routine. The orange glaze adds a nice tangy flavor and the chicken comes out moist and tender. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less orange juice next time.
