Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons rosemary leaves
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks (6 thighs and 6 drumsticks)
  • 1/2 medium orange, cut into 6 very thin slices and slices cut into half moons
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Heat oven to 450 degrees F and arrange rack in middle.

In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, rosemary, salt, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat well. Slip 1 piece of orange under skin of each piece.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a cast iron skillet or large frying pan over medium-high heat until butter foams. Working in batches, add 3 or 4 chicken pieces (don't overcrowd the pan) and brown on both sides until skin is crisp and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. As chicken is finished, place in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.

Once all chicken has browned, place in oven to roast until juices run clear when pricked with a knife and meat registers 160 to 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

    This recipe is a BIG family favorite at my house. For a more orange taste I added fresh orange juice and orange zest to the marinade. Also don't forget to add the left over marinade to the chicken before finishing it in the oven, don't want to waste a single drop of that delicious nectar!!! It turns into a type of glaze, really good on potatoes, be they roasted, mashed, or boiled! Bon Appetit fellow foodies!

    My family loves this recipe! I'm not really sure that I understand the negative comments, because I think the ingredients all come through wonderfully. The only change I make is that I do two slices of orange for each piece of chicken.

    The sauteed-then-baked skin is divine!
