Ok I'm a little bit behind, but I'm still recovering from a busy, fun-filled holiday. Spending Christmas in both Virginia and Atlanta was so great and then ringing in the new year in D.C. way more amazing than I could have imagined. I was not even close to ready to come back to Atlanta but I had no choice, so before I returned prepared one last entree for my boyfriend to enjoy. One of the best things about the start of the new year is that it marks the return of really sweet, tender and juicy oranges. Of course they are great to eat alone but there are so many ways to incorporate them into your next meal. I decided on a orange and honey BBQ glazed chicken, a delicious flavor combination that could also be used for salmon or pork.
Orange and honey BBQ Glazed Roasted Chicken
1 whole chicken cut into pieces
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 cup honey mustard BBQ sauce*
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1. Put and chicken pieces in a large bowl
2. In a small bowl combine the remaining ingredients and mix together.
3. Pour over the chicken and toss to coat evenly
4. Allow the chicken to marinate a minimum of 30 minutes
5. Put onto a sheet pan and roast in a 400 degree oven for 30-35 minutes
*Honey mustard BBQ is available at any local grocery store
Enjoy
