Preparation

Step 1

Place the sliced oranges in the bottom of a shallow baking pan. Arrange the chicken on top of the orange slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the orange marmalade, honey, cinnamon, cloves and rosemary. Brush about 1/3 of this sauce over the chicken. Place the baking pan into a larger shallow pan of hot water (so the sauce won't burn). There should be an inch of water in the outer pan.

Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes. In a saucepan, add the orange juice to the remaining sauce and bring to a boil. Serve the sauce on the side.
