Citrus-Spiced Roast Chicken image

I am the designated Thanksgiving host in my family because of my chipotle citrus roast turkey. Even finicky eaters love it. That's why I use the same recipe for chicken, so we can enjoy the delicious flavors year-round. -Robin Haas, Cranston, Rhode Island

3 tablespoons orange marmalade
