Orange-Ginger Chicken
The marinade for this recipe is made in a blender with a quartered whole orange—skin and all—and the ginger does not need to be peeled, either. When transferring the chicken to the wire rack, allow a good amount of the marinade to cling to the pieces for deep browning and crusting. Rice and steamed or stir-fried vegetables are good accompaniments. For easier cleanup, line the baking sheet with foil before setting the rack on top.

Bursting With Flavor
Very easy to prepare with a number of things that are already on hand. We loved the strong ginger flavor. This is going to be one of our go to chicken marinades.

Delicious and simple
I made as written and agree with previous reviews that though it seems like a LOT of ginger, it really doesn't taste very gingery. I also cut slits in the thighs (as I've read to do in other recipes) and marinated overnight. The marinade was very thick but the taste was really good.

Tangy, zippy, sweet and savory chicken
This recipe was super easy, really balanced, and a hit with the whole family. I added a couple of hot green chiles to the marinade, which gave it a little extra kick. Don't skimp on the ginger - it seems like a lot, but it doesn't come through as powerfully as you might think.

The orange peel added a bitterness to the coating of the chicken. I also needed to add a few more minutes to cook the chicken.
