Directions
Giada De Laurentiis’s Garlic and Citrus Chicken, I watched Giada make this on a recent episode of Everyday Italian on the Food Network It is SO GOOD and pretty easy to prepare She made the Penne with Spinach Sauce to go with it , Wow, this was really great! Like another reviewer, after I started basting it, I had to cover with foil to prevent burning and kept adding chicken broth Next time, I may reduce the temp to 325 and just roast longer, put some broth in the pan at the beginning and will wait to begin glazing I will probably add more garlic too, due to personal taste With Giada’s recipes I always double the sauce At the end, I put some flour and about 1/4 a cup of chicken broth into a jar, shake it up, then add to thicken the sauce I think this would be great with bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, marinating in the sauce for 3 or 4 hours Even a turkey sounds good with this recipe! Thanks for posting, Kerry

Place a Rack in a Large Roasting Pan. Place the Chicken, Breast Side Up, on the Rack in the Pan. Roast the Chicken For 1 Hour, Basting Occasionally and Adding Some Chicken Broth to the Pan, If Necessary, to Prevent the Pan Drippings from Burning.
