Baked chicken with oranges and ginger

Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken (whole) 1
  • Honey 4 tablespoons
  • Orange 2
  • Ginger 40 g
  • Olive oil 3 tablespoons
  • Salt
  • Ground red pepper

Instructions

  1. From one orange cut a quarter and set aside. The remaining part of the whole and the orange peel and carefully remove all white walls. Cut into medium slices.
  2. Chicken dry well (you can use paper kitchen towels) and rub on all sides with oil, coarse salt, red and black pepper.
  3. Heat oven to 200 degrees. At the bottom of a small deep pan or baking dish lay out one layer of orange slices. On oranges put chicken. Put in the oven for forty minutes.
  4. Of the remaining quarters of an orange into a small deep bowl squeeze the juice.
  5. Ginger peel and grate. Mix the orange juice with ginger, four tablespoons of honey and add spices to taste – you can throw a pinch of black pepper and red. Mix.
  6. Remove the chicken from the oven, gently flip and thoroughly lubricate the resulting orange-ginger mixture. The most convenient way to do a special culinary brush.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan in the oven and bake for about an hour, occasionally basting the chicken juices from the pan; more often to do it, the faster formed crust – and the juicy meat is under it.
  8. Cooked chicken with a beautiful golden crust can be put on the table as a whole, a little cool, to cut into portions and serve with baked oranges, pouring juice from the pan.
