MAHOGANY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove giblets and neck from chicken; refrigerate for use another day. Rinse chicken and drain well.
• With chicken breast-side up, lift wings up toward neck, then fold them under back of chicken so they stay in place. With string, tie legs together.
• Place chicken, breast-side up, on rack in small roasting pan; rub with salt and pepper. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of thigh, next to body, being careful that pointed end of thermometer does not touch bone.
• Roast chicken 45 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare glaze: In small bowl, stir brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and vermouth until sugar dissolves.
• After chicken has roasted 45 minutes, brush with some glaze. Turn oven control to 400 degrees F and roast chicken 30 minutes longer, brushing with glaze twice more during roasting, until chicken is a deep brown color, thermometer reaches 180 degrees F, and juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced with tip of knife. Place chicken on warm large platter; let stand 15 minutes for easier carving.
• Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup water to roasting pan; over medium heat, heat to boiling, stirring to loosen brown bits. Remove pan from heat; skim and discard fat. Serve chicken with pan juices. Garnish with fresh herbs.

MAHOGANY GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Method: Preheat oven to 450oF. If using bone-on chicken, place chicken pieces bone side down in pan. Otherwise, arrange in a baking dish. In small bowl, stir preserves, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and Dijon until blended. Pour broth around chicken in the pan. Brush one-third of glaze over chicken pieces. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast chicken pieces 10 minutes, then brush with half of remaining glaze. Repeat every 10 minutes glazing pieces until thermometer inserted into meat (without touching bone) reaches 165oF. Remove chicken pieces to a plate and let stand at least 5 minutes so juices can redistribute. While chicken is resting, stir pan drippings over stove to thicken and reduce. You can add a little cornstarch to cold water and add to drippings if they are not thickening. When sauce is consistency that you want, add about 2 handfuls of oranges (optional). Pour over chicken and serve
