Orange Honey Glazed Chicken
Ingredients
  • 8 large chicken legs
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup orange juice with pulp
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 7 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 oranges, zested
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Dust the chicken with a generous amount of salt and position it in a spacious glass or plastic container.
2
Combine honey, freshly squeezed orange juice with its pulp, melted butter, fragrant rosemary, grated orange zest, minced garlic, and peppercorns in a separate container. Pour the orange-infused mixture over the chicken; cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to overnight.
3
Heat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a large roasting pan; pour the orange mixture over the chicken.
5
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Baste the chicken with its own juices and lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Continue basting the chicken every 20 minutes and cook until it reaches a deep orange-brown color, is no longer pink at the bone, and its juices run clear, approximately 90 minutes. Use a food thermometer to check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
