Add enough stock to come 1 inch up the side of the chicken. Place in the oven and bake 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 180 degrees.

Add the remaining orange peel -- chopped rosemary, and ½ teaspoon paprika; season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue to boil until the sauce is reduced by about one-third, about 5 to 10 minutes. Arrange the carved chicken on a serving platter and pass a bowl of the sauce separately.
