Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the garlic, orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt and black pepper and rub half the mixture into the chicken.
💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
2
Marinate the chicken in the mixture at least 1 hour, or up to a few hours in the fridge.
3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
4
Heat the oil in a large pan and brown the chicken on all sides until golden.
⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
5
Transfer the chicken to the pan and pour the rest of the mixture over it.

6
Bake uncovered 35–40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
