Pan Roasted Chicken With Oranges And Rosemary Recipes

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the chicken on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Place a cast-iron or regular ovenproof skillet on the stove over medium heat. Drizzle the pan with the oil and lay the chicken in the hot fat, skin-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to set and crisp. Throw in the mushrooms, shallots, and rosemary. Stick the whole thing in the hot oven and roast for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked, and the mushrooms and shallots are soft and roasted.
• The last thing to make is a quick sauce using the flavors left in the bottom of the skillet. Take all the stuff out of the pan and arrange on a dinner plate to keep warm while preparing the pan sauce. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered chicken fat and return the skillet to the stovetop. Stir in the water and lemon juice and cook over medium heat, scraping up the flavors with a wooden spoon. Cook the liquid down to a syrup, about 5 minutes. Drizzle the pan sauce over the dish, season with salt and pepper.

ORANGE HERB ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the chicken broth into a small roasting pan, and set aside.

Squeeze the orange halves over the chicken, and stuff the orange halves into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then rub in the minced garlic. Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, then lay the herb sprigs onto the breast and around the legs.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and baste the chicken with the pan juices. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Baste the chicken every 10 to 15 minutes after you uncover it. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before slicing.

ORANGE-ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a large rimmed baking sheet in oven; preheat oven to 425°F. (Do not remove baking sheet while oven preheats.) Thinly slice 1 ½ of the oranges; place in a large bowl. Squeeze juice from remaining orange half into a small bowl to equal 2 tablespoons; set aside. Add potato wedges and ¼ cup of the rosemary leaves to orange slices; stir to combine. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, ¾ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper; toss to coat. Scatter potato mixture evenly over preheated pan; bake until starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, skin side down; cook until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken; continue cooking until golden brown on both sides, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to baking sheet with potato mixture; return to oven. Bake at 425°F until potatoes are browned and tender and a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken thighs registers 165°F, 12 to 15 more minutes.
• While chicken and potatoes finish baking, whisk together vinegar, honey, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; set aside.
