Orange Chicken (Convection Toaster Oven) image

I got a new convection toaster oven and it cooks differently then the one I had. This chicken was 5.6 lbs. and one of the biggest chickens I've ever cooked in a toaster oven. Once the chicken is done if you want, you can make a sauce from the liquid from the orange juice basting liquid and the chicken juices. Just make...

  • 5. Brush the chicken with the melted coconut oil and salt and pepper the bird.
  • 6. Then baste with some of the orange juice. Place in the oven. Baste the bird every 20 minutes or so to ensure that the orange flavor gets into the chicken juices.
