Italian Roasted Chicken With Orange And Oregano Recipes

Steps:

• For the orange citrus glaze: Whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, oregano, sherry vinegar, 2 large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil to create an emulsion. Yield: about 1 cup
• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a rack over the sheet.
• Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Coat the chicken with the canola oil and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the rack set over the baking sheet and roast in the oven until cooked through and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with 2/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze in 5 minutes intervals. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Reserve the remaining glaze for Roasted Asparagus with Orange Glaze.
• For the asparagus: Whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, oregano, sherry vinegar, 2 large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil to create an emulsion. Yield: about 1 cup
• For the asparagus: Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the asparagus with the olive oil in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the asparagus to the hot baking sheet and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze and sprinkle with some orange zest.

Steps:

• Wash and dry chicken and season with salt, then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425˚F.
• Cut ends off the garlic heads and dress with a little EVOO, salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and place in oven, roast 45 minutes until golden and soft.
• Meanwhile, in a roasting pan or large casserole, toss 2 sliced or wedge-cut oranges with red onions, bay leaves and a liberal drizzle of EVOO - enough to thinly coat the oranges, bay leaves, and onions (a couple of tablespoons). Season with salt and pepper and scoot the oranges and onions off to the sides of the pan.
• Arrange chicken in pan and rub with EVOO to coat the skin. Season chicken with black and red pepper then scatter the oregano over the chicken, onions and oranges. Add wine to the pan, along with the juice of 2 oranges. Drizzle honey around the pan and place in the oven. Toast 45 minutes or until juices run clear.
• Serve chicken with oranges and onions, and with pan juices spooned over top and a whole head of roasted garlic along side. Pop cloves away from skins as you eat your chicken or spread on crusty bread.

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the orange, lemon, and garlic halves. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string to help hold its shape. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• 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. Whisk the orange juice, lemon juice, oil, oregano, and chopped garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Brush some of the juice mixture over the chicken, after it has baked 1 hour. Continue roasting the chicken until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the innermost part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, basting occasionally with the juice mixture and adding broth to the pan, about 45 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Tent with foil while making the sauce (do not clean the pan).
• Place the same roasting pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in any remaining broth and simmer until the sauce is reduced to 1 cup, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Strain into a 2-cup glass measuring cup and discard the solids. Spoon the fat from the top of the sauce. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Wash the capon (actually a castrated male chicken) under cold running water, and soak for 1 hour in a pan of cold water in which 1/4 cup kosher salt has been dissolved. Drain and rinse again, using paper toweling to dry the bird inside and out.
• Season the capon inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Put half the rosemary and thyme and all of the chopped garlic inside the cavity of the capon, along with some of the onion, carrot and celery. Tie the legs of the capon together to aid in even roasting and place, breast side down in a roasting pan. Rub the remaining herbs on the outside of the capon, drizzle all the olive oil over the capon, scattering the rest of the vegetables (except the potatoes) in the pan along with the capon. Place the roasting pan into the oven and roast the capon for 20 minutes on its breast, before turning onto its back for an additional 20 minutes. When the capon has roasted for 20 minutes on its back, add the potatoes and continue roasting for an additional hour or until the bird is thoroughly cooked (a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F at the leg joint). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and remove from the oven, allowing the capon to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash chicken, remove anything from cavity and pat dry. Place chicken in roasting pan or glass baking dish. Mix all ingredients together and pour over chicken. Add potatoes to the pan and cover with aluminum foil. Put into oven cook for an hour and a half and then remove foil return to the over for another half an hr or until skin is crispy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix salt, rosemary, pepper, oregano, and basil together in a small bowl.
• Mix olive oil, vegetable oil, white wine, and garlic together in a large bowl. Stir in spice mixture. Rub all over chicken breasts. Transfer to a baking dish and scatter onion and mushrooms over the tops.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 40 to 45 minutes.
• While chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. Serve chicken and spaghetti together.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine butter, salad dressing mix and lemon juice. Place chicken on a rack in an ungreased roasting pan. Spoon butter mixture over chicken. , Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with oregano. Bake, uncovered, 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until a thermometer inserted in thigh reads 170°-175°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the chicken broth into a small roasting pan, and set aside.
• Loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs of the chicken. Stuff the butter pieces evenly underneath the skin of the chicken, and place into the roasting pan. Squeeze the orange halves over the chicken, and stuff the orange halves into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then rub in the minced garlic. Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, then lay the herb sprigs onto the breast and around the legs.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and baste the chicken with the pan juices. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Baste the chicken every 10 to 15 minutes after you uncover it. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before slicing.
