Sweet orange chicken

1 recipe

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Whole chicken
1 can Frozen orange juice
¾ can Water
Thyme
Sweet basil
Garlic powder
Black pepper

Directions

Allow the frozen orange juice to thaw and mix the concentrate with the water.

Wash the chicken thoroughly under running warm water. This will loosen the skin. Separate the skin from the meat by separating the skin under water throughout the chicken by allowing the water to expand the skin. Prevent the water from running out the tail or neck portions by closing them up with your hand. Allow to drain and rest.

Take the frozen juice mixture and pour into the pocket formed by the loosened skin, making sure you cover the entire chicken under the skin. Allow to drain into a separate bowl or cup for reuse.

Sprinkle the thyme, basil, garlic powder, and pepper into the same cavity created by the separation of the skin from meat.

In a metal bowl or pan, place the chicken and cook in the oven or on the grill. Halfway through the the cooking process, about 20 to 30 minutes, pour the remaining orange juice over the top of the chicken.

This step can be repeated as necessary to promote a golden glaze.

Allow the chicken to cool slightly, about 10 minutes, slice and serve.
