Smoked Orange Glazed Chicken Recipes

BBQ GLAZED SMOKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken and rub: In a smoker with hickory or other hardwood, bring the wood to smoke and maintain a temperature of 175 to 180 degrees F.
• In a bowl, blend the paprika, salt, cayenne, cumin and garlic powder well. Next, season the chicken halves with the rub, both on the skins and in the interiors. Place in the smoker for 2 hours. The smoker temperature should be maintained between 165 and 170 degrees F for the cooking period. Remove the chicken from the racks and allow to rest until cooled, for a minimum of 2 hours.
• For the sauce: In a bowl with a whisk, mix together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard and horseradish.
• To reheat and glaze the chicken, preheat the grill. Evenly coat the skins of the chicken halves with the butter and salt. Grill until crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and finish reheating for 4 minutes. During this period, glaze the skins with 2 tablespoons of the sauce.

HONEY ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for the orange honey glaze in a small bowl. Reserve half in a small bowl to serve with the chicken. Use the rest to baste while the chicken cooks.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a half sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place the chicken breasts with the bone-side down on the half sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle with paprika, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush with a little orange honey glaze. Insert a digital thermometer so you can check the internal temperature.
• Cook for 30 minutes, then continue to baste with orange honey glaze every 10 minutes until the chicken is done. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved orange honey glaze. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and thyme before serving.

ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt if desired and pepper; coat chicken breast. In a skillet, heat oil on medium; brown chicken. Spread marmalade on top of chicken; sprinkle with nutmeg. Add orange juice and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear.

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk orange juice, vegetable oil, orange zest, paprika, mustard, and salt in a bowl. Arrange chicken breast halves in a baking dish; pour orange juice mixture over chicken.
• Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes, basting with orange glaze every 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
• Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
• During the last 20 minutes of cooking the chicken, place the orange juice concentrate, hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan, stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the mixture to about 1/2 cup, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool at least 5 minutes.
• Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl along with the glaze and toss to coat. Serve warm.

SMOKED GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine the first 10 ingredients, bring to a boil, then let cool.
• Add maple extract and liquid smoke.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Brine chicken for at least 4 hours. Overnight is fine, but no more than 12 hours.
• Remove pieces, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
• Coat with oil and season with Cajun seasoning.
• Prepare smoker and smoke chicken at 230 degrees for about two hours, basting with mop every 30 minutes.
• For the mop: Combine vinegar, water, salt, and pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove as set aside.
• When chicken is nearly done, coat with glaze and move pieces to a hot grill to finish cooking and crisp the skin. This will only take a few minutes per side.
• For the glaze: Combine 3 parts butter to one part honey. Make as much as you need to finish the job.
• Remove and serve immediately.
• Have copies of the recipe available, because you will be asked.
