Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 skin-on bone-in chicken breasts
1 1/2 TBSP Vegetable Oil
3/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate zest of one orange
6 TBSP honey
Salt & Pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Liberally salt and pepper the chicken. Heat the oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken, skin side only until brown and beginning to crisp (about 5 minutes) Meanwhile, make the orange glaze in a small saucepan, heat the OJ concentrate, zest, honey and salt and pepper (to taste) over medium heat and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Brush the chicken on both sides with the glaze and leave skin side up in the pan. Use all of the glaze. Transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until internal temp reaches 160-170 degrees with an instant read thermometer, brushing glaze back on every 15 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Remove chicken breast from the bone and slice meat on the bias. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with sauce.
