Crispy Chicken a l’Orange Recipe

This Crispy Chicken a l’Orange is utterly delicious. I based this recipe on a duck a l’orange, which originated in Italy and then migrated to France.

the l’orange chicken is first marinated,

Marinating the chicken in a tasty sweet and sour sauce gives this dish an insanely delicious flavour and crispy skin. Yes, this dish is all about sweet and sour sauce.

The marinade is made by heating the orange concentrate, orange, zest, honey, tamari sauce, ginger, garlic and butter.

Then, the marinade is chilled until it solidifies into a paste. The paste is then rubbed all over the chicken.

The orange paste will flavour the chicken while it is chilled. The chicken is then roasted with fresh orange wedges.

This chicken dish may seem complicated, but you will find that the chicken l’orange recipe is a lot simpler than it sounds.

What I love most about this chicken a l’orange is the skin. The skin is super crispy and has the most delicious tangy flavour…it is sooo tasty!
