Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 to 6 oranges
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Squeeze oranges to yield 3 cups of juice. In a large skillet, combine juice, vinegar, and molasses. Boil over high heat, skimming foam occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve half the glaze for serving.
  • Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and brush with glaze.
  • Bake chicken, brushing with glaze twice, until juices run clear when pierced, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot with reserved glaze.
