Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (5 to 6-pound) whole roasting chicken, neck and giblets discarded
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 orange, quartered
1 lemon, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise, plus 3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (14-ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
Kitchen string or butcher twine

Steps:

  • Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the orange, lemon, and garlic halves. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string to help hold its shape. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Place a rack in a large roasting pan. Place the chicken, breast side up, on the rack in the pan. Roast the chicken for 1 hour, basting occasionally and adding some chicken broth to the pan, if necessary, to prevent the pan drippings from burning. Whisk the orange juice, lemon juice, oil, oregano, and chopped garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Brush some of the juice mixture over the chicken, after it has baked 1 hour. Continue roasting the chicken until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the innermost part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, basting occasionally with the juice mixture and adding broth to the pan, about 45 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Tent with foil while making the sauce (do not clean the pan).
  • Place the same roasting pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in any remaining broth and simmer until the sauce is reduced to 1 cup, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Strain into a 2-cup glass measuring cup and discard the solids. Spoon the fat from the top of the sauce. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce.

GARLIC AND CITRUS ROAST CHICKEN

I found this recipe, created by Giada De Laurentiis, on the Food Network website. It was featured in her show Everyday Italian, in an episode titled Feel Good Food. It had 387 reviews with a overall total rating of 5 stars (out of a possible 5). So I had to try it and was pleasantly surprised. It's very easy to prepare, and it produces a tasty, moist roasted chicken. The sauce was great served over rice, too. For this recipe, you'll need kitchen string or butcher twine.

CITRUS AND GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN



Citrus and Garlic Roasted Chicken image

This chicken is easy and packed with flavor. Citrus is paired perfectly with ginger, soy sauce, garlic and oregano. Fresh herbs would be wonderful in place of dried, if you have them. I recommend basting while cooking to add extra flavor and nice caramelization to the chicken. Serve the sauce alongside the chicken and decorate the platter with lots of the cooked fruit and some fresh herbs. READ MORE
