Rosemary Orange Roast Chicken Recipe 455

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.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in the seasonings and garlic. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Spoon half of the butter mixture over chicken. Place the potatoes, carrots and onions around chicken. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over vegetables. , Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Baste with cooking juices; bake 30-60 minutes longer, basting occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.), Let stand 10-15 minutes, tented with foil if necessary, before carving. Serve with vegetables.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until oil just begins to smoke. Add chicken pieces, and cook until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter or a baking sheet.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from Dutch oven. Reduce heat to medium; add cipollini onions and sugar. Cook until onions are light golden brown. Add diced onion. Cook, stirring, until onions are light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice, zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, cumin, and chicken. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Add olives, and simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, about 10 minutes more. Remove chicken, and transfer to a serving platter. Swirl butter into the sauce until melted. Pour sauce over chicken. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Serve with basmati rice.

Steps:

• Wash chicken and pat dry.
• Brush chicken with melted butter,season both inside and out with salt and pepper and rosemary, placing one clove garlic inside chicken.
• Place in roaster with the orange juice, quartered orange, and remaining clove of garlic.
• Roast uncovered in 350 oven until chicken is well browned, fork tender, and juices run clear when pierced with a fork about (1 1/2 to 2 hours).
• Make glaze by mixing marmalade and dry rosemary, brush onto chicken and bake for another 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large roasting pan, toss carrots and celery along with the chicken giblets. In a small glass bowl, combine rosemary, olive oil, orange juice, garlic, oregano, salt & pepper. Whisk together and rub all over the chicken, under the skin and inside the cavity. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Pour about 2 cups of water into the roasting pan and place in the oven. Bake until the chicken is golden and juices run clear, approximately 40 minutes. **NOTE: check periodically to make sure the broth has not evaporated. If necessary, add another 1-2 cups of water.
