Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wine, olive oil, clementine juice, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
2️⃣ Marinate the Chicken (Optional, but Recommended):
- Place the chicken pieces, clementine slices, thyme, and onions in a large bowl or zip-top bag.
- Pour the marinade over, toss to coat, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
3️⃣ Roast the Chicken:
- Preheat oven to 475ºF.
- Arrange the chicken skin-side up in a large roasting pan, ensuring the pieces are not crowded.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Roast for 30 minutes, then check for browning.
- If the skin is browning too quickly, lower the oven to 400ºF and continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and crisp.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
- Transfer the chicken, caramelized clementines, and onions to a serving platter.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Spoon extra pan juices over the top.
