Total Time:
Ingredients
- 2 4-pound chickens, cut up
- 1 bunch scallions, minced
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- Place the chicken pieces in 1 or 2 large resealable plastic bags and add the rest of the ingredients. Shake to mix. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Fire up a grill to medium heat or until the coals are lightly covered with ash. Cook the chicken skin-side up for 20 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the juices run clear when a thigh is pricked with a fork; it should register 180° F on an instant-read thermometer. Alternatively, roast the chicken uncovered in a preheated 400° F oven for 35 to 45 minutes.

Quick Tip
For the crispiest results, broil chicken pieces skin-side up. If the recipe calls for turning the meat halfway through, start
bone-side up.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
