Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Place the chicken halves in a deep dish like a casserole dish.
Pour the marinade over the top of the chicken and use a pastry brush to coat the chicken on all sides.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the chicken over at least once.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Lightly spray a large baking sheet or roasting pan with non stick cooking spray OR line with parchment paper.
Line the baking sheet with the orange and lemon slices.
Transfer the two chicken halves to the baking sheet so they are resting on top of the orange and lemon slices.
Pour the marinade over the top of the chicken.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165F and juices run clear.
