Orange-Tangerine Roast Chicken

 Eileen (United States) says:
I baked a 5 lb chicken and after 2 hours and 15 minutes it still was not done inside, near the thigh/backbone. I had to put it back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. My other side dishes then had to be reheated 15 minutes later. I won't use this recipe again with a 5 pounder. I may try it with quarters.

I used a 6# roasting chicken. I baked 1hr at 375°F, and the last 45 mins. at 350°F. The chicken was thoroughly done. The skin was a beautiful golden brown. The meat was very tender and juicy. However, for me, there was not much flavor. I used fresh rosemary in the butter, I even rubbed the butter mix under the breast skin. I sliced off the leftover chicken and put in a freezer bag. I thawed the meat out 3 weeks later for another recipe. The meat was still moist and was good in the recipe.

Also if you add some cinnamon and ginger (powder or fresh are both good!) it is delicious!!
