Prepare everything you need. Rinse the chicken, especially inside. Also check for any remaining feathers and remove them if necessary.
For the marinade, squeeze the juice of one orange into a bowl. It turned out to be 70 milliliters. Pour in vegetable oil and soy sauce.
2 pcs orange, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 40 ml soy sauce
Add ground pepper, turmeric, salt, and minced garlic.
¼ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, 2 cloves garlic
Mix well.
Place the chicken in a bag or roasting bag. Pour in the prepared mixture.
1.7 kg chicken
Tie the bag tightly, releasing the air from the inside, and use your hands to distribute the marinade over the chicken, rubbing it into the meat. Leave it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours to allow the chicken to marinate well. If you don't have much time, you can cut the orange into large pieces to enhance the taste and aroma, and place them inside the carcass. Before starting to bake, take the chicken out in advance, 2-3 hours in advance, so that it has time to warm up to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 170 ℃ and place the baking dish or baking sheet with the chicken. Cook for an hour. The bag will inflate significantly, so it should be placed closer to the lower rack of the oven. Thanks to the airtight packaging, the chicken will cook very well during this time. Carefully cut the top of the bag and, pouring the juice from the bottom of the dish over the chicken, return it to the oven for 10-15 minutes to brown the skin.
Arrange slices of orange, pour over the melted fat, and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
2 pcs orange
The chicken with oranges in the oven is ready. The meat is tender, juicy, with a delicate citrus aroma, the intensity of which depends directly on the marinating time.
