Orange Glazed Chicken
 
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 (4- to 5-pound) whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup sliced green onion
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup chili sauce
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • Broiled Green Beans (recipe follows) and hot white rice, to serve
  • Garnish: sliced green onion
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Arrange chicken in an even layer on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, and rub to evenly coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine green onion, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili powder, crushed red pepper, marmalade, vinegar, chili sauce, and soy sauce. Reserve ¼ cup to serve. Brush chicken with half remaining orange marmalade mixture.
  5. Bake 15 minutes more. Brush with remaining orange marmalade mixture, and bake until golden brown, caramelized, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into chicken breast pieces registers 165° and inserted into thighs registers 170°, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  6. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil chicken until browned and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with Broiled Green Beans, white rice, and reserved ¼ cup orange marmalade mixture. Garnish with sliced green onion, if desired.
