This whole roasted chicken is a real crowd-pleaser, moist and tender with a beautiful presentation and a flavorful orange sauce.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil or cottonseed oil

  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

Garnish

  • orange slices


Wine Pairing

Herzog Lineage Pinot Noir

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Rinse and pat chicken dry inside and out. Place orange, garlic cloves (if using) and cinnamon stick inside the cavity of the chicken. Tie legs and wings for nice presentation. Place breast-side down in a nine- by 13-inch roasting pan. (If you use a disposable pan, double it for stability as the chicken will release liquid and it will be difficult to remove it safely from the oven.) Rub chicken with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3.

Roast chicken 45 minutes and remove from oven. Turn chicken over using two wooden spoons or spatulas. Return to oven and roast 45 minutes longer.

Prepare the Sauce

1.

In medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, cook the orange juice, broth, pepper and ginger for about 15-20 minutes.

2.

Whisk in the potato starch until smooth. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens and begins to bubble.

To Serve

1.

Place the whole chicken on a platter. Remove the orange, garlic and cinnamon stick from the cavity. Pour the sauce over all. Garnish with the orange slices. Serve immediately.
