Time 42m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks (6 thighs and 6 drumsticks)
1/2 medium orange, cut into 6 very thin slices and slices cut into half moons
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees F and arrange rack in middle.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, rosemary, salt, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat well. Slip 1 piece of orange under skin of each piece.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a cast iron skillet or large frying pan over medium-high heat until butter foams. Working in batches, add 3 or 4 chicken pieces (don't overcrowd the pan) and brown on both sides until skin is crisp and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. As chicken is finished, place in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
  • Once all chicken has browned, place in oven to roast until juices run clear when pricked with a knife and meat registers 160 to 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with a rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The orange and rosemary sauce is amazing.

The chicken was a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I added some extra salt and pepper to the chicken before roasting and it was much better.

I used blood oranges instead of regular oranges and it gave the dish a beautiful color and a slightly tart flavor. It was delicious!

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time.

Not a fan of rosemary, so I used thyme instead. Still turned out great!
