Citrus-Spiced Roast Chicken

Servings: 6 / Total Time: 1:20 mins

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons orange marmalade

• 4-1/2 teaspoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 broiler/fryer chicken (4 pounds)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Mix marmalade, chipotle peppers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cumin. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from chicken; rub mixture under the skin.
2. Place chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under chicken; tie drumsticks together. Rub skin with remaining salt. Roast 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°, covering with foil halfway through cooking to prevent overbrowning.
3. Remove chicken from oven; let stand, loosely covered, 15 minutes before carving. Remove and discard skin before serving.
