<p>Sweet, flavorful recipe for orange and thyme-marinated roasted chicken glazed with date honey. Lovely holiday recipe. </p>

Large chicken ,  bone in,  skin on i prefer leg/thigh quarters

Freshly squeezed orange juice

Hot sauce

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Mustard dijon or yellow

Orange zest

Salt and black pepper

Fresh thyme divided

Large Navel Oranges Divided

Date honey syrup

If using chicken leg quarters, i generally like to remove the "knuckle" end of the drumstick bone before cooking. It makes for a more elegant presentation on the dinner table. To do this, use a sharp chef's knife to carefully slice around the bottom knuckle of the bone, cutting through the skin and tendons. Then, grasp the cartilage area with a towel and pull strongly, twisting to remove it, and discard. Fyi, this may take some practice and a bit of elbow grease. Be very careful with the knife when you are making the slice around the bone--you don't want to slip!

step 1

Whisk together orange juice, hot sauce, 3 tbsp olive oil, mustard, orange zest, 1/2 tsp salt and pinch of black pepper to form a marinade. Place chicken pieces into a plastic zipper bag or into a ceramic or glass dish. Pour marinade over the chicken and add 6-8 sprigs of thyme. Seal the bag (if using) or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 hours, up to overnight.

step 2

Preheat oven to 475 degrees f. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the excess marinade. Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken pieces skin side down, three pieces at a time, and let them cook for 5-10 minutes until the skin is nicely browned. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining 3 pieces. Remove the skillet from heat.

step 3

Lightly grease a roasting pan or dish. Slice two of the large navel oranges into rounds and lay them on a single layer, covering the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle some thyme sprigs into the bottom of the roasting pan as well (reserve some for the final platter/garnish).

step 4

Place the chicken back into the pan, skin side up. Brush each piece generously with date honey. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes, basting the chicken every 15 minutes with more date honey.

step 5

After 45 minutes the chicken should be cooked through and internal temperature should be at least 165 degrees f (i usually cook it to 170). If not, re-cover and continue to cook until it reaches temperature. Uncover the chicken. Baste once more with remaining date honey. Increase heat to 500 degrees f and cook for 5-10 more minutes until the date glaze is bubbly and shiny. Keep a close eye to make sure the glaze doesn't burn, it contains a lot of natural sugar and will blacken if you're not careful.

step 6

Slice up the remaining orange. Serve each piece of chicken garnished with a fresh orange slice and fresh thyme sprigs.
