• Place chicken in oven, legs first, and roast for 10 minutes. Spoon accumulated juices back over chicken, reverse pan back to front, and return to oven. Repeat four times, basting every 10 minutes and switching pan position each time. If chicken browns too quickly, lower heat a bit. If juices dry up, use reserved liquid and 1 or 2 tablespoons of water or orange juice.
• After 50 minutes of roasting, insert an instant-read thermometer into a thigh; when it reads 155 to 165 degrees, remove chicken from oven, and baste one final time. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

• In a small bowl, combine the pepper, salt, sugar and 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil. Rub the mixture over the skin and in the cavity of the chicken. Refrigerate the chicken for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the vegetable oil and annatto seeds. Place over low heat and cook until the seeds begin to sizzle. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Strain, discarding the seeds, and stir 1/2 teaspoon of the soy sauce into the oil. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the annatto oil (save the rest for another use), the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil, the remaining soy sauce, the honey and lime juice. Whisk until smooth.
• Place the chicken in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Pour half of the honey-soy mixture over the chicken and place it in the oven. Roast the chicken, basting every 10 to 15 minutes with the remaining honey-soy mixture, until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving and transferring to a platter.

ROASTED ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl; reserve the spent peels. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
• Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wingtips behind the body. Stuff the tangerine peels and 6 ginger slices into the cavity, then tie the legs together using kitchen twine. Place in a large ovenproof skillet, and scatter the tangerine wedges and remaining 2 slices ginger around the chicken.
• Slowly pour the juice mixture all over the chicken, then slide the skillet into the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
• Using a large spoon or baster, quickly and carefully coat the chicken with the pan sauce. Continue roasting, basting every 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 155 degrees and, in the leg, 170 degrees. The chicken will continue to cook while it rests.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. If the pan sauce isn't already syrupy, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Be sure to wear oven mitts or use a kitchen towel to hold the skillet (the handle is hot). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles grow larger and paler brown, and the sauce is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
• Serve the chicken whole or carved with the glaze poured all over the meat. Arrange the tangerine wedges from the pan around the bird. You can eat them, if you'd like.
