GRAND MARNIER MARMALADE

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GRAND MARNIER GLAZE

Steps:

• Prep the chicken.
• Remove the insides and rinse with water and then pat dry. Rub the bird with olive oil and then season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place in roasting pan and put the orange and onion quarters inside.
• Roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Then turn your oven down to 350 degrees for 1 hour more.
• While bird is cooking, make your glaze.
• Melt the butter, mustard, honey, and apricot jam til bubbly and then take off heat and add grand marnier. Can keep on low to keep warm (altho I think that is a no no w/alcohol, but I always do!).
• When there is 40 minutes left of cook time, pour about half the glaze over the bird and then let it finish cooking.
• Pull bird out, let rest for 10 minutes so juices can recollect. After carving it up and putting meat on platter, drizzle the pieces with the rest of the glaze.
• Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

ORANGE GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine marmalade, sage, soy, garlic, Grand Marnier, salt and pepper.
• Pour over chops, and marinate for 30 minutes (I put the chops and marinade in ziplock bags).
• Grill the chops, reserving the marinade.
• While the chops are cooking, add the marinade to a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
• To serve, spoon glaze over the pork chops and garnish with sage leaves.

CHEF JOHN'S ORANGE DUCK

Steps:

• Score duck skin almost all the way through the skin and fat each way on the diagonal in a crosshatch pattern. Generously season with salt and rub salt into each breast. Let rest, skin-side up, at room temperature, for 15 minutes.
• Whisk chicken broth, orange liqueur, sherry vinegar, orange marmalade, orange zest, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
• Pat duck breasts dry with paper towels. Re-season skin-side of duck breasts with salt.
• Heat duck fat in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Place duck in skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 6 minutes. Flip duck breasts and cook until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer breasts to a plate to rest. Pour any rendered duck fat into a glass jar.
• Return skillet to medium heat and whisk flour into pan; cook and stir until flour is completely incorporated, about 1 minute. Pour orange mixture into skillet; bring to a boil. Cook until sauce thickens and is reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. When orange mixture stops bubbling, add butter; stir until butter is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce, about 1 minute. Season with salt to taste.
• Slice duck breasts across the grain, arrange on a plate, and spoon orange sauce over the top.
