Orange Roasted Chicken
Orange juice, sherry wine vinegar, and fresh rosemary create a fabulously sweet and savory glaze for a whole-roasted chicken. Grated ginger adds a zesty richness that makes the perfect partner for the citrus-infused flavor.

Directions
Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Season chicken with the salt and pepper. Place half of the orange segments into the chicken cavity.

Step 2

In a shallow roasting pan, arrange the onion and the remaining half of the orange segments. Add the sherry vinegar. Place the chicken, breast side down, on top of the onion mixture. In a cup, combine orange juice, ginger, orange zest and rosemary. Brush the orange juice mixture over the chicken. Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Turn the chicken, breast side up, and brush with orange marmalade. Roast for 1 hour, basting the chicken every 20 minutes. The chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish individual servings with the unpeeled orange slices.
