How To Make Orange Baked Chicken

Cook the chicken with or without the skin, whichever way you like it.

1. Step 1:

   Take a sheet of kitchen foil big enough to cover the bottom of a large ovenproof dish with enough foil around the sides to fold over and make a parcel once the chicken is inside.

2. Step 2:

   Warm a little oil in a large frying pan; brown the chicken pieces on all sides, then transfer to the foil-lined dish.

3. Step 3:

   Add some butter to the pan and let it melt and brown to the point where it’s nearly foaming then put the finely chopped onion in the pan with the coriander and coriander leaf and fry for a minute or two until soft but without colour.

4. Step 4:

   Add the orange juice, tomato purée, soy (or Worcestershire) sauce and sugar, stir well and bring to the boil.

5. Step 5:

   Pour the sauce over the chicken, cover with the foil and cook on Gas Mark 3 (170°C) for about 1 hour, spooning the sauce over the chicken on the plate at the end.

6. Step 6:

   Serve with fried potatoes and green vegetables.
