ORANGE-MOLASSES GLAZED CHICKEN
I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account. I was blown away at how flavourful this dish was. Be careful not to actually burn it though as the burnt molasses taste will permeate the entire dish. ;) Trust me on that one! ---- Original Chef's notes: "This simple citrus glaze has a hint of sweetness, but also takes on a bit of smoky flavor from the molasses and red wine vinegar. The chicken turns a beautiful mahogany color, and is so delicious. From Everyday Food's January 2004 issue."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Squeeze the oranges until you have 3 cups of juice.
- In a large skillet, combine the juice, molasses and vinegar and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming foam periodically.
- Boil until you have only about a half cup of thick glaze.
- This takes 10-15 minutes.
- Set half the glaze aside in a separate container for serving with the chicken.
- Place the chicken breast halves on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush with glaze.
- Bake chicken, brushing with glaze two more times, until juices run clear when pierced, 35-40 minutes.
- Serve chicken hot with reserved glaze.
