Spicy Orange Roasted ChickenI was craving orange chicken but didn't want to deal with goopy batters or frying, so I threw together a whole chicken with oranges and some spice. It was SO good. I urge you to try this!

I leave the peels on the oranges in this recipe because I'm a fan of umami* flavours. If you want to knock out the bitterness, simply remove the orange peels in this recipe. If you like your orange chicken sweet like at Chinese restaurants, add one tablespoon of brown sugar to the saucepan when making the glaze at the end.

*Umami is the marriage of sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness in food.
