Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Papa Vince Orange Marmalade
- 2 tbsp Papa Vince Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/3 cup Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Papa Vince Sea Salt
- 1 pre cooked chicken
How to Make Sicilian Orange Roasted Chicken
- Set oven to 350 degrees. Cover the pre-cooked chicken with foil to protect the skin and warm through for about 15-20 minutes.
- While the chicken warms stir together the orange marmalade with the Balsamic Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt and pepper and pour over the chicken.
- Return chicken to the oven (uncovered) for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce begins to brown.
- Garnish with candied oranges.
- Serve with couscous, risotto or with a mixed green salad.
How to make Candied Oranges
- Slice oranges and place on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with marmalade, sprinkle top of slices with just a bit of light brown or granulated sugar (either works well) and add bits of salted butter.
- Broil in 425 degree oven. Keep an eye on them and remove once they glisten and turn brown on the edges of the orange skin (around 5 minutes).
- These candied oranges are a perfect edible garnish for your Sicilian marmalade chicken.
They store well and are terrific for lunch boxes or a snack. Eat extra candied oranges cold the next day with vanilla Greek yogurt, yummy!
