Orange Ginger Roasted Chicken

You will need:
  • Whole chicken
  • 6 large oranges
  • 2 Serrano chilies, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped (or more if you love garlic like me)
  • 2-3 inches of ginger, chopped
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 ziplock or other bag big enough to put the whole chicken in
  • Salt and pepper to taste
To do:
  • Chop your ginger, garlic and Serrano
  • Add the olive oil to a sauce pan on medium heat, saute ginger, garlic and serrano for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the zest of one orange to the mixture.
  • Add the juice of the 6 oranges. Cook to thicken about 5 minutes. Set aside until cool
  • Put chicken and marinade in the marinading bag for 2-3 hours in the refridgerator.

To cook:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • If you want to stuff it you can put in a nice brown rice or your favorite stuffing. If you're not going to stuff it you can put an extra orange cut up inside the cavity of the bird.
  • Put chicken in the roasting pan. Cook as listed below and enjoy!
Cooking times
  • Unstuffed: cook for about an hour. Use your thermometer to make sure it's fully cooked.
  • Stuffed: cook for about an hour and 20 minutes.
