Spiced Marinated Chicken With Orange, Fennel & Zucchini

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup fresh orange juice

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

  • 3 Tbsp. honey

  • 1½ Tbsp. orange zest

  • 1 Tbsp. ground coriander

  • 2 tsp. salt

  • 2 tsp. ground black pepper

  • 2 tsp. sweet smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp. ground turmeric

  • 6 skin-on chicken leg quarters

  • 3 medium zucchini, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 medium bulbs fennel, quartered into wedges

  • 2 medium oranges, sliced

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves

  • 2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

  • ⅓ cup coarsely chopped pistachios (optional)


    Directions:

      1. In large bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, mustard, honey, zest, coriander, salt, pepper, paprika and turmeric. Divide chicken into 2 large zip-top plastic bags; place zucchini, fennel and orange slices into separate large zip-top plastic bag. Evenly pour orange juice mixture into each bag; seal bags pressing out excess air. Massage ingredients in bags to coat with marinade; refrigerate 3 hours.

      2. Preheat oven to 425°. Evenly spread chicken mixture, skin side up, onto large rimmed baking pan; evenly spread zucchini mixture onto second large rimmed baking pan. Roast chicken and vegetables 45 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165° and vegetables are tender.

      3. Transfer chicken and vegetables to large serving plate; cover to keep warm. Pour off fat from drippings in chicken pan; place chicken pan across 2 burners. Add vegetable pan drippings and wine to chicken pan; heat to simmering over medium heat, stirring frequently to remove browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until slightly reduced.

      4. Serve chicken and vegetables sprinkled with parsley, mint and pistachios, if desired, along with pan juices.
