  1. Generously rub the chicken with salt and pepper
  2. In a small bowl, combine garlic, paprika, pepper, honey and orange juice. Mix well and pour it into a container or ziplock bag along with the chicken. Make sure the chicken well coated with the marinate ingredients.
  3. Marinate in the morning if you want to have it for lunch or you can also marinate it overnight to get more intense flavoring.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius. Grease a deep baking pan or a Dutch oven.
  5. Lay the rosemary sprigs at the bottom of the pan, put the chicken on top, sprinkle with a dash of black pepper and drizzle with some olive oil. Cover the top with aluminum foil
  6. Bake for 30 minutes. 
  7. After 30 minutes take off the foil, reduce the temperature to 175 degree C and bake for another 20-30 minutes or until golden.


Orange goes well with Salmon but this is the first time I am using it on chicken. I normally use lemon on my roasted chicken, well orange also does wonder..
