Servings: persons

One or more chickens, halved
3 Tbs of plum jam
2 Tbs of chopped garlic or to taste (look for the pre-chopped in oil, saves time)
1 tsp of chopped fresh ginger
Chinese five-spice powder
Pepper to taste
Pinch of salt
One whole large orange
1/4 cup chicken or poultry stock
Olive oil
Dash honey
Pinch of cayenne powder
Butter
Good dollop of dijon mustard (preferably the grainy kind)

1
Preheat oven to approximately 250 or 300 degrees. Halve chicken(s) discarding backs (or save for stock). Season chicken halves with Chinese five-spice powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt after rubbing with soft butter and drizzling with olive oil. Roast chicken for about 45 minutes, tenting if it appears that the chicken is browning too fast. Toward the end of the roasting time, heat more olive oil in a large sauce pan until hot but not smoking. Sautee the garlic and ginger until they start to give off their combined aroma - but do not brown either.
2
Halve the orange and juice it, removing any seeds. Add to the soft garlic and ginger mixture. Reduce slightly. Add dollop of honey with the plum jam and stock. Whisk to combine and allow to further reduce a very small amount until you have a pourable consistency. Finish off with butter or margarine until smooth. Add more juice if needed.
3
Pour 3/4 s of the jam mixture over the chicken and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Add remaining mixture and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. It is important here to pay attention to the chicken so that it does not burn or brown overly much. Should it appear that the glaze is browning too much, retent with foil. As soon as the glaze has set, remove chicken and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
4
Great dish with Thai sticky rice or a vegetable pasta dish. The prep time is minimal, and this makes a great meal to impress guests although the work involved was quick and easy.
