Ingredients

Orange juice and Dash™ are the unexpected combination that will make your roast chicken a memorable meal. This basic recipe is easy to follow and results in a festive main course.

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Remove the giblets and excess fat from the chicken cavity. Pat the chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels. Tuck the wing tips under the body to prevent burning.
  3. Sprinkle the cavity with Dash™ Garlic & Herb Seasoning. Carefully lift the skin from the breast by sliding your hand between the skin and the meat. Sprinkle the breast meat with Dash™ Chicken Grilling Blend, then gently lay the skin back in place over the seasoning.
  4. Place the onion slices in the bottom of a heavy-duty roasting pan, creating a bed for the chicken.Place the prepared chicken on top of the onion slices. Pour orange juice evenly over the skin.
  5. Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast until the skin is deep golden brown, crisp, and the juices run clear—about 1 1/2.
  6. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board to rest. Skim off any fat from the roasting pan. Add chicken stock to the pan and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Cook the mixture until the liquid is reduced and thickened.
  8. Press the roasted onions to extract their juices and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
  9. Carve and Serve: Carve the roasted chicken and serve with the prepared sauce.

Tips

  • Chef’s Tip -For a properly roasted chicken, the internal temperature should reach 165°F in the thickest part of the breast and the innermost part of the thigh. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature, ensuring it's fully cooked and safe to eat. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute
