Woodford Reserve Chicken a la Orange
Chef in Residence: Ouita Michel
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Brine ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup Woodford Reserve
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup orange juice concentrate
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/4 tsp. ground clove
- 1/4 cup Sorghum
- 1 Tbsp. Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Woodford Reserve
- Salt to taste
- 3 Tbsp. Butter
Method:
- Combine the ingredients for the brine—this IS an optional step—and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken and let sit for about 1 hour.
- Dry the Chicken. If you don't have time to brine your chicken—start the recipe at this step.
- Combine the Orange juice concentrate, all the spices, Woodford Reserve, sorghum and soy sauce together in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half. You can make this sauce ahead and reserve.
- Heat 1 tbsp. of butter in a heavy bottomed sauté pan, sauté the breasts skin side down until golden. Flip the breasts, cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the orange sauce to your sauce pan, bring to a simmer and put into a 350-375 degree oven for about 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove the breasts from the pan and hold in a warm place while you finish the sauce. Add the Woodford Reserve to the sauce, bring to a simmer and simmer until lightly thickened. Check the salt, add to taste. Swirl in the last of the butter and serve the sauce over the chicken.
