directions

  • Set oven rack at it's highest position. Pre-heat oven to 400*F.
  • In a small saucepan combine the orange juice and brown sugar. Boil until reduced by half, then stire in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
  • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then dredge in the glaze, coating completely.
  • Put the chicken pieces, skin side down into a shallow rimmed 15 X 10 inch sheet pan. Pour any leftover glaze over the chicken. (I line the baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray first!).
  • Roast on the top rack until the juices run barely clear when you prick with a fork.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set the broiler on high.
  • Turn the chicken over and baste it with the pan juices. If alot of fat has rendered out, spoon some of it off before broiling.
  • Broil, basting the chicken often and rotating the pieces for even browning, until shiny and well browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Drizzle with pan drippings before serving.

  1. I really liked the tang that the orange juice added to this. I've tried other balsamic recipes that were too heavy on the vinegar, but this was a great balance.
     
  2. This chicken was absolutely delicious! The glaze was really outstanding, with just the right amount of citrus-to tart-to sweet, with a kick of mustard. We loved it! The instructions were easy to follow, too. All in all, a winner! Thanks MarieAlice!
