x

Chicken:

Vegetable oil cooking spray 1 skinless 3-lb chicken
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup onion slices
or one-medium onion

ends removed and sliced :

Orange sauce--- 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Orange juice tenderizes and adds flavor. Brown the chicken pieces under a broiler. Cook with onion and sauce on the stove top or oven.
1. Wash a 2.5 to 3 pound chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut into serving pieces; remove all visible fat.
2. Turn on the broiler. Lightly spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray; set aside.
3. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with paprika and place on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Broil the chicken about 6 inches from the heat until lightly browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and transfer the pieces to a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet and top with onion slices.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together all the orange sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce over the chicken and onions.
6. STOVE TOP (see alternative). Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and continue cooking until chicken is done and tender, about 55 minutes.
(Altertively, place the browned chicken and onion slices in a casserole dish. Pour orange juice mixture over all and bake, covered, in a preheated 350-degree oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until the chicken is tender.)
