  • Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add the onion to the fat remaining in the pan and gently fry for 5 minutes.
  • Drain off any fat, then add the Worcestershire sauce, water, tomato paste, orange rind (strips and grated) and juice. Bring to the boil and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  1. I did this as a crockpot recipe. I used the ingredients to make the sauce and poured it over the chicken in the pot. Yummy!
     
  2. It did take a while to chop the rind, and, since my oranges were huge and homegrown (i.e. with tons more flavor than store-bought), I only used 1. I also used boneless skinless leg meat and omitted the oil. My husband, normally stoic about my kitchen experiments, actually spoke up and said he liked this dish! I used some of the sauce to flavor Costco stir-fry veg mix, and the dinner disappeared before the rice was half-ready :)) I can imagine this will be a great make-ahead dish for my Shabbat dinners. Thanks, Ms. Randal!
     
  3. This is a really good recipe, thanks so much.
     
  4. Pretty good, though too much work for me. It took me about an hour of prep to peel/grate/squeeze the oranges, chop the onion and skin the chicken. Oh yes, I used thighs instead of chicken breasts. I also simply simmered on stovetop for an hours because other reviewers tried it and apparently like it that way. Thank you for a nice change to regular fried chicken, this would be something I would want once in a while.
