Chicken with oranges in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken with oranges in the oven? Prepare the necessary products. Wings or drumsticks are also perfect for this recipe, but I wouldn’t recommend using the breast. The chicken must be pre-washed and dried with paper towels.

2. STEP 2

   

   Squeeze the juice from one orange. This can be done using any available means, not necessarily a juicer.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the garlic and chop it in any convenient way: finely chop it with a knife. You can chop it, grate it, put it through a press.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the ginger root and chop it too. It is better to grate it, so it will release its juice better. If you are not a fan of Asian notes, then do not add ginger, limit yourself to spices. Or, on the contrary, you can add even brighter ones, such as curry.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now make the marinade. To do this, mix juice, soy sauce, black and red pepper and grated ginger and garlic.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir the marinade with a fork until all ingredients are well combined.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the chicken in a container that can be covered, pour in the marinade and refrigerate for at least three hours, but preferably 8-12 hours. About half an hour before the end of marinating, turn on the oven at 180 degrees.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the second orange into small pieces.

9. STEP 9

   

   After the marinating time is over, place the chicken in a baking dish, pour the marinade over it, and place the orange slices on top. You can also add onions, cut into large pieces. Read about how to choose a baking dish in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bake the chicken in an oven preheated to 180°C for 45-50 minutes until golden brown. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, the link is at the end of the recipe. You can bake the whole chicken, in which case you should marinate it differently. Cut the orange into slices and place them directly under the skin. Rub the skin with garlic and pepper and marinate like this for 8 hours. Bon appetit!

Everyone in our family loves chicken, so I am constantly looking for new recipes for preparing this bird. I found this interesting recipe for chicken with oranges in the oven. Only I don’t have thighs, but a whole chicken, cut into pieces. I found the oranges very juicy and aromatic, I squeezed out a lot of juice) I didn’t use ginger, my children and I don’t really like it. And instead of red hot pepper, I took black from the mill; it is not very hot, but fragrant. I added a little paprika for color and extra flavor. I left it to marinate immediately in the mold; before baking, I took the mold out of the refrigerator in advance so that it would warm up and not crack in the oven. The finished chicken tasted great, you don’t really notice the orange, there’s a slight aftertaste, but the garlic gave it a pleasant spice. While baking, there was such a tantalizing aroma of garlic and orange in the kitchen! In general, the chicken according to this recipe is just fire) The meat is soaked in the marinade, becomes soft, and easily breaks down into fibers. And the crust is so delicious and crispy! I recommend to everyone!

I really liked the marinade - a combination of orange juice, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. I cut up the chicken and used thighs and wings to prepare this dish. To better soak the meat in the sauce, I pricked it in several places with a skewer. My chicken marinated for 3 hours. During the cooking process, pour over the marinade and turn over. The chicken turned out incredibly aromatic, tender, juicy, with a spicy gravy. I recommend it, a great recipe for Chicken with oranges in the oven, cook with pleasure
