One of my favorite things about Fall is the fact that I can turn on my oven and not feel guilty about heating the house up. It’s the perfect time for baking cookies, making delicious casseroles, and enjoying those recipes which hot summer days just don’t seem to permit.

Today I’ve got a winner winner chicken dinner for you. It’s a great recipe that you can prepare ahead of time and toss in the oven when you get home. This Citrus Glazed Roast Chicken takes just 45 minutes to roast and comes out all glorious and golden and so juicy it makes your mouth water.

The chicken marinade is made out of orange marmalade so there is robust citrus flavor in every bite. The addition of freshly squeezed lemon juice and orange juice are just icing on the cake, so to speak. The chicken needs to be marinated for a good 2 hours, the longer the better.

I buy my chickens whole and then just remove the backbone, flatten and then cut straight down the middle of the breasts to create two halves. You can also ask your butcher to do this for you if your store doesn’t carry halves or you don’t feel comfortable with this. A fryer chicken will also work just as well but will require a little less cooking time. You’re looking for 165 F in the thigh.

My favorite part of the marinade has to be the shallots. Instead of using onion and garlic, I opted for shallots which provides a combination of those flavors which I find irresistible. I personally picked every single caramelized shallot off the baking sheet and popped them directly into my  mouth. They’re like candy.
