Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Very good and quite easy. I made half a recipe using 4 thighs and a fennel bulb from the garden, even though my orange was on the large side, the orange flavor was very subtle. And as suggested by someone below, I will either separate the onion quarters or cut it into eighths instead, I want them to be more cooked, my thighs were well cooked in 40 minutes but the onion was not.

    This was so flavorful and easy. Highly recommended. I agree that the onions could be smaller, but that is a small quibble. I used chicken thighs and they were done in 45 minutes.

    This was great - and so easy! I had a fennel languishing in my drawer, so made this recipe scaled down to 4 thighs. I drizzled the orange/thyme/oil over the top as well. In the future I'd probably separate the onion rather than leave it in wedges since I don't like firm onion as much. Served with an onion rice pilaf but crusty bread would be an excellent option if available. A definite and enthusiastic repeat from both me and my spouse.

    This was a hit with everyone. The chicken was beautifully burnished with crisp skin and moist meat, and the orange flavour was noticeable but subtle. In lieu of the extra olive oil, I drizzled the remaining orange-thyme-oil chicken dip over the entire pan of chicken etc before roasting. Watch your baking time; smaller pieces of chicken will require less.
