It's fabulous hot or cold. I make a big batch so there are leftovers (which make tasty quesadillas). I move my oven rack to a lower setting to keep the chicken moist, and even then it barely takes 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 ½ cups orange juice

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (2.5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the orange juice, olive oil, chives, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in the mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.

  2. Preheat the oven broiler.

  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.

  4. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet. Broil 30 minutes in the preheated oven, 6 to 8 inches from heat. Turn and brush frequently with the remaining marinade mixture, until no longer pink and juices run clear.
