Barbeque Orange Chicken

Ingredients:

• Grated zest from 4 oranges
• 2/3 cup orange juice
• 4 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp finely minced garlic
• 2 chickens (2 1/2 to 3 lbs each), cut into 8 pieces and trimmed of excess fat
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal

Directions:

1. For the marinade: A day before serving, combine the first 8 ingredients. Toss them together with the chicken in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up in a pan. Barbecue slowly. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 2/3 cup of the marinade into the pan. Bake for 1 hour.
4. Remove the chicken to a serving platter. Strain the marinade into a small saucepan; boil for 10 minutes to thicken. Drizzle this sauce over the chicken. Garnish with scallions and serve.

Yields 6 to 8 servings.
