Share:
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or matzo meal (I used 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 6 pounds chicken pieces (or 2 fryers, cut up)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, or 3/4 tsp ground ginger, or to taste
- Fresh orange wedges for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the eggs with 2 tsp of water in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs or matzo meal with the salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet and brown the chicken on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
- Whisk together hot water, orange juice, honey and ginger in a bowl.
- Place the chicken in a lightly greased roasting pan or a large casserole. Cover the chicken evenly with the honey orange liquid.Cover the dish with foil and let it roast in the oven for 45 minutes, basting occasionally. Uncover the dish after 45 minutes and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Let the chicken continue to roast for 10-20 minutes longer, basting every few minutes, till the skin is browned to your liking.
- Serve on a platter garnished with fresh orange wedges, if desired. Joan recommends serving with rice and a tossed green salad.
Notes
