Citrus Ginger Chicken

This is my favorite Passover chicken recipe. I love the bright citrus color, the freshly grated ginger, green onions and honey. Since the recipe also calls for orange zest, we usually juice the oranges after zesting. Do make sure that the oranges are flavorful. The orange flavor is important and tasteless oranges won't make the impact.The ingredient list is simple and for a couple of chickens, prep time is quick. Bake the chicken to a nice golden brown. The honey will help bring up the color. Garnish with green onions thinly sliced on the bias and fresh orange rings.

  • 3/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced on the bias + 1/4 cup reserved for garnish



Steps:

Cut chicken into pieces, lightly salt and pepper. Set aside in a 2 gallon ziplock bag or a large bowl.
