Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  • Place potatoes, green beans and onion on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Nestle chicken into the vegetables.

  • Grate 1/2 tsp. zest from orange and squeeze it to get 2 Tbsp. juice. Combine the zest and juice, preserves, soy sauce (or tamari), garlic and the remaining 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the chicken with half of the glaze.

  • Roast the chicken and vegetables for 15 minutes. Stir the vegetables; turn the chicken and brush with the remaining glaze. Continue roasting until the chicken registers at least 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more.

Tips

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

Delicious! Not really into chicken legs though might have to switch for quartered breasts. The orange-garlic-soy glaze had fantastic flavor! Read More

For people that haven't had food before this might be an acquired taste. But for those of you who have eaten food before it is totally delicious. I am a man and it is GOOD! But in all seriousness I enjoyed how the orange flavor brought together the whole dish. My girlfriend made this for me with love and smiles. Definitely add to the rotation. Read More

My beloved picky eater aka husband gave this a 2-thumbs up. For health reasons cutting sodium and cholesterol are a priority but not at the expense of taste. We will be making this again...I substituted boneless skinless thighs for the drumsticks and used the peach mango jam I had on hand. Turned up the heat for the last 10 minutes for a nice crispy finish. Read More
