Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Slide orange slices under chicken skin (skin will pull up easily). Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish skin-side-up. Then place potatoes, carrots, onions and celery around the chicken and pour broth over all. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Note: If water decreases as it is cooking, add as needed; this will be your gravy.)

"I would have marinated the chicken in orange juice and spices first. The orange slice just wasn't quite enough. ..." See more"

"Remarkably easy to make and extremely tasty. I tried this as a last minute, something a little different from the usual recipe. The whole house smelled great. We couldn't wait to eat! It took long..." See moreer than the 1 hour stated on recipe but i just watched the pop-up timer. The pan juice and drippings made the best gravy I have made yet. You can't go wrong with this one."
