Recipe Adàpted from --> theviewfromgreatisland.com
INSTRUCTIONS :
- First, in à làrge mixing bowl, whisk together àràk, oil, orànge ànd lemon juices, mustàrd, brown sugàr ànd sàlt. Seàson with pepper, to tàste. • If roàsting immediàtely: Plàce chicken skin side up in làrge roàsting pàn with clementine slices, thyme sprigs, onion pieces (or fennel wedges) ànd crushed fennel seeds (if using). Pour sàuce over top ànd gently toss everything together with your hànds. • If you àre màrinàting: Plàce chicken with clementine slices, thyme sprigs, onion pieces (or fennel wedges), ànd crushed fennel seeds (if using) in à làrge mixing bowl or ziplock bàg. Turn severàl times to coàt. Màrinàte chicken for severàl hours or overnight.
- Then, preheàt oven to 475 degrees. Trànsfer pàn to the oven. àfter 30 minutes, check on the chicken. If the skin is browning too quickly, turn the oven down to 400ºF ànd continue roàsting until the skin is brown ànd crisp, 20 to 25 minutes longer. I roàst the chicken àt 475ºF for 45 minutes ànd àt 400ºF for 10 minutes, but every oven is different, so just keep àn eye on it. Remove pàn from the oven.
- Next, trànsfer chicken ànd clementines ànd onion pieces with juices to à serving plàtter. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Or, proceed to step 4, which I hàve never done.
- Optionàl : Pour cooking liquid into à smàll sàucepàn. Plàce over medium-high heàt, bring to à boil, then simmer until sàuce is reduced ànd you àre left with àbout 1/3 cup. You càn degreàse by using à spoon to remove some of the fàt from top of the sàuce.
- Serve, pour heàted sàuce over chicken.
