Have made this many times, comes out perfect every time.         Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/16/2013   The flavor and aroma is amazing. I love the taste of oranges in the chicken, it was also very moist and the skin really crispy. However, next time I make this recipe I'll keep the chicken longer in the oven, in a slightly lower temperature. While it was cooked, when I took it out of the oven, it was still a little bit tough and I found it hard to carve the chicken. That's the only drawback I was able to find though :).

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, minced Coarse salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 2 navel oranges (preferably organic), 1 zested, both cut into 2-inch wedges 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme, plus a few sprigs 1 whole chicken (4 to 4 1/2 pounds) 2 red onions, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mash garlic and 1 teaspoon salt into a paste.

Combine garlic paste, butter, zest, and chopped thyme. Gently separate skin from breast of chicken, and rub half of the butter mixture under the skin on each side. Season with salt.

Fill cavity with 2 orange wedges, 1 onion wedge, and thyme sprigs. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rimmed baking sheet, and tuck wings under. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Scatter remaining oranges and onions around chicken. Dot oranges and onions with 1 tablespoon butter mixture.

Roast for 30 minutes. Brush chicken with remaining butter mixture. Flip oranges and onions. Rotate sheet, and roast for 15 minutes more. Remove oranges and onions if caramelized. Roast chicken until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The flavor and aroma is amazing. I love the taste of oranges in the chicken, it was also very moist and the skin really crispy. However, next time I make this recipe I’ll keep the chicken longer in the oven, in a slightly lower temperature. While it was cooked, when I took it out of the oven, it was still a little bit tough and I found it hard to carve the chicken. That’s the only drawback I was able to find though :).
