    This was delicious. As others have mentioned sauce is so citrusy good and makes chicken so flavorful. I really enjoyed oranges, different from others-I by mistake sliced them in thin rings; maybe that’s what made difference. Woujd def make again.

    Such a flavorful sauce. It started to blacken right away so I kept the chicken covered with foil for most of the roasting time. I think that’s why the sauce was so thin. While the chicken was resting I tried to reduce it; regardless, it was phenomenal. Served with roasted golden beets & greens, and baby red potatoes. I marked this a must cook for 2020; now 2021, 2022...

    This was a great chicken dinner. The sauce is a wonderful mixture of sweet and spicy. I used a scant tablespoon of sriracha sauce. It made for a spicy sauce but the chicken mellowed out the sauce quite a bit. I might up the amount next time. I agree with amandacooks that the oranges can be left out. Even with the additional brown sugar mine tasted somewhat bitter.

    Delicious! The whole family loved it, and it was so quick and easy to throw together. Another 5* recipe from Ms Henry.

    Our family really loved this roast chicken. It took very little time to put together and didn't take all that long to cook since we used a smaller (~3 lb.) bird. Even our toddler who normally won't touch meat kept asking for more. The roasted oranges weren't as big of a hit as the chicken, so I'll probably skip those next time and maybe just offer a few (raw) orange slices as a garnish instead.

    I wasn't a bit surprised by how good this was, because Diana Henry (almost) never lets you down. We loved the sauce with its concentrated mixture of sweet and spicy, and the dish is very easy to put together; then just leave it in the oven and get on with something else. Definitely one to add to the regular repertoire.
