CITRUS AND CUMIN ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the zest from 2 orange wedges and 2 lime wedges and set aside.
• Rub chicken with juice of those wedges.
• Season the entire chicken, including the cavity, with the cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
• Inside the cavity, place the used orange and lime wedges, plus 3 orange wedges, 3 lime wedges, 2 cloves of garlic and 3 sprigs of oregano.
• Place a small roasting pan over high heat and add the oil.
• When the oil smokes, place the chicken, breast-side down in the pan.
• Sear, rolling slightly for even browning, until the breast is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the pan, slip a flat rack on bottom of pan, then place the chicken on the rack, breast-side up.
• Add the stock, remaining garlic cloves and a couple more sprigs of oregano to the pan.
• Squeeze the juice of the 7 orange wedges and remaining lime wedges into the pan, adding the juiced wedges to the pan as well.
• Roast until the chicken juices run clear when the leg is pieced near the joint, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• Check the moisture in the pan a few times while cooking, adding chicken broth if the pan juices are drying up.
• Transfer chicken to a warm platter, and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before carving. Remove the fruit wedges, oregano and garlic from the pan, then place the pan juices in a small saucepan.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat, taste and adjust seasoning, adding more orange juice from the remaining wedges if desired.
• Remove from heat and add the reserved zest. Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce.

MICHAEL SYMON'S ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CUMIN AND ORANGE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Season the chicken breasts with plenty of salt and pepper on both sides then place them in a gallon sized re-sealable bag. 2.

Discard the marinade. 5. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil along with the chicken, skin side down. 6. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the skin is golden brown then flip the chicken and place the whole pan in the oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the chicken has finished cooking through.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CUMIN, HONEY & ORANGE (MARK BITTMAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a nonstick roasting pan, or line a roasting pan with a double layer of aluminum foil. Combine orange juice, honey, cumin, salt and pepper in bowl, and whisk until smooth. Place chicken in pan, and spoon all but 1/4 cup of liquid over all of it.
• Place chicken in oven, legs first, and roast for 10 minutes. Spoon accumulated juices back over chicken, reverse pan back to front, and return to oven. Repeat four times, basting every 10 minutes and switching pan position each time. If chicken browns too quickly, lower heat a bit. If juices dry up, use reserved liquid and 1 or 2 tablespoons of water or orange juice.
• After 50 minutes of roasting, insert an instant-read thermometer into a thigh; when it reads 155 to 165 degrees, remove chicken from oven, and baste one final time. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

CITRUS-GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large nonmetalic bowl. Put the orange and lime zests in a small bowl and add the fruit juices. Whisk in the olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and a generous grind of black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss until well coated. Marinate for 20 to 30 minutes but no longer than 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. With tongs, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and arrange them on the rack leaving space between each piece. Drizzle a small spoonful of the marinade over the top of each chicken piece; season well with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when meat is pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Cool slightly before serving or let stand until room temperature before refrigerating for later use.
