Directions
Roast Chicken With Orange, Lemon & Ginger, Ginger arrived in Italy with Arabic traders or North African Jewish immigrants, so it’s likely that this is a Sicilian or Livornese recipe From Cucina Ebraica by Joyce Goldstein , I love this book and the recipe I made this 2 years ago (I think) for a family holiday dinner and everyone enjoyed it, even dad who hates poultry Thanks for poting , Wow Kate, this is a great recipe I cooked this in a roasting dish with potatoes & kumara (New Zealand sweet potato) Orange complements kumara well, so boy it tasted good Once I had removed the chicken from the pan I made gravy by adding some chicken stock & about 1/4 c of NZ chardonnay (which just happened to be citrusy – perfect) Added some flour/butter paste & cooked this off to make a wonderful fruity gravy This is a fantastic recipe, I did miss having stuffing but it was only a small loss As the gravy & chicken is quite rich a little goes a long way Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
