Orange, Honey and Ginger Chicken


Martina again, I originally posted this recipe up on my Facebook page and my wonderful friend Michele made it (in the oven) and told me how great it was, along with taking a picture! Since I misplaced my flash card and haven't been able to take pictures of any of the food lately, I'm giving full credit to Michele for this delicious photo. 

I also made this recipe last week again and it was a hit, Andreas ate, I cooked.

Orange, Honey and Ginger Chicken
3 - 4 people

1 whole chicken or parts of the chicken with skin

Marinade
2 oranges, juice 2 and zest of one
2 limes,  juice 2 zest one
1/2 cup olive oil
1tsp sesame oil
4 ground chilis
handful of cilantro
3 tsp ground coriander seeds
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 2" piece ginger
3 tbsp honey
dash soy sauce
salt to taste 

Take all of the ingredients of your marinade and put them in a glass dish or ziploc bag, stir them all up, adjust the marinade in any way to your particular taste preference. 

Now take your whole chicken and butterfly it (flatten it) or pieces of chicken and massage the marinade into it. Let it rest for a couple of hours; 4 if you have time or 1 if you don't. When it's finished marinating place your chicken on the grill on medium/low heat or in the oven at 350 until it's cooked.

You will have some marinating liquid left over, if you are inclined, reduce it on the stove until it becomes sticky and sauce like and baste the chicken with it while it cooks.

Enjoy!
Martina & Andreas
