1/2 medium orange, cut into 6 very thin slices and cut into half moons
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and arrange rack in the middle.
In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the oil, rosemary, salt, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat well. Slip 1 piece of orange under skin of each piece.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a cast iron skillet or large frying pan over medium high heat until butter foams.
Working in batches, add 3 or 4 chicken pieces (don’t overcrowd the pan) and brown on both sides until skin is crisp and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. As chicken is finished, place in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Once all the chicken has browned, place in oven to roast until juices run clear when pricked with a knife, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
