Soy and Orange Roast Chicken

If you’re looking for a simple whole chicken recipe that’ll produce a chicken that’s nice and crispy on the outside whilst being juicy, and moist on the inside then this is it right here! Let’s not forget this all adds up to being delicious! The secret to achieving this is basting, which is simply put brushing or pouring a liquid over meat whilst it’s cooking in order to keep it nice and moist on the inside. This is mostly applicable to dry heat cooking methods such as grilling/roasting and braaing.

So in this recipe I am taking Mr Sauce’s Soy Sauce on a spin. What I like most about it is that, compared to other soy sauces in the market, it has a significantly low amount of sodium. Yeah that thing called salt. All ends of the earth know that too much salt in one’s diet has adverse health effects. So I tip my hat, give big thumbs up and a high-five to Efoods Zimbabwe for this relief. In fact, all their sauces I have used so far in my recipes have not disappointed. Tomato Ketchup, Worcester, Mustard, Tomato Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Sweet Chilli and Beefy Burger have all delivered on flavour, taste and consistency. Follow the links to see some great things worth your time and effort that have come out this range of condiments.

So the Mr Sauce soy sauce pairs really well with the citrus flavour of the orange, not forgetting the honey and garlic that I used in this recipe creating a harmony of flavours which you will taste with each bite of the chicken. oh Yum!

Serve this with your preferred side, which could be fries, a salad, rice, roast potatoes…the options are limitless if the truth be told.

P/s least somebody be left behind, orange rind is just the grated skin of an orange. Enjoy!
