Fresh Approach Cooking

.
And so there I was, the only girl at Nicole Ritchie's Memorial Day BBQ who weighed more than 100 pounds.

Happily, with this chicken in tow, I was able to entice the other waifs to put on some poundage and brought a little joy to their rice-cake-munching lives.

Sweet, sticky, juicy, delicious. If you don't want to gain an ounce, avoid this. If you are all about the food...dive on in.

Cheers!

1 whole chicken, cut up
1 cup chicken stock
2 small oranges, zest and juice
2 limes, zest and juice
1 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons ginger, grated
1 small chile, minced
Sesame seeds and green onion for garnish

Marinate the chicken in the rest of the ingredients for at least three hours.

Preheat your oven to 350F. Add all and bake, covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 15 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

If the sauce has not turned to a thick glaze, pour into a non-stick pan on the stove top and reduce until it is. Pour over chicken and serve with rice.
