Directions
Chicken with Orange, Lemon & Ginger,This is delicious and fragrant! Your house smells wonderful while the chicken is roasting and the neighbors knock on your door looking for invitations to dinner. I make this at least once a month.,Wow – this is the best chicken ever!!! used a 7lb chicken so I cooked it as it said on the package – 2 1/2 hours & it was beautufully browned & crispy outside & sooo juicy inside!!! Readingthe recipe I wasn’t really sure how many lemons & oranges I was supposed to use so I zested & juiced 1 of each. I mixed the zest & ginger to go inside, there was enough juice for the basting sauce & the parts went inside. I had plenty of zest/ginger mix so I rubbed a little under the skin as well. Thank you, Mirj, for a fabulous recipe! Made for NA*ME TAG. :),I didn’t have much success with this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly. Even though the chicken tested done, when I cut it up, there were still areas that were pink & undercooked. I ended up throwing the pieces in the microwave to finish up. The flavor was good, but not up to my expectations after the rave reviews.
