Citrus Marinated Roasted Chicken
Author: Adapted from Fine Cooking Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
3 Tbsp. olive oil
4 lbs. chicken parts (breasts with rib bones, leg thigh pieces)
2 large lemons
1 large orange
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
1½ Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. honey
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
1. Pour the olive oil into a heavy roasting pan that is large enough to accommodate the
chicken parts in one layer. Arrange the chicken in the pan (if using mixed parts, breasts in the middle
and legs/wing around the edge).
2. Cut one lemon into six wedges. Juice and zest the other lemon into a small bowl. Cut the orange in
half. Slice one half into wedges. Zest and juice the other half and add this to the lemon
juice/zest. Scatter the lemon and orange wedges around the chicken in the pan. Do not place them on
top of the chicken, but nestle them down in, so that they don't interfere with the browning
when you bake it up.
3. Stir the oregano, garlic, honey, soy sauce, and pepper flakes into the lemon/orange juice mixture.
Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, turning the chicken occasionally,
for at least 6 hours and up to 12.
4. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425*.
5. Turn the chicken pieces in the pan so they are all skin side up. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375*. Continue to roast until
chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
