COUNTRY CAPTAIN CHICKEN 
1 (3 to 4 lb.) broiler chicken
2 cups orange marmalade
1/2-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/3 cup prepared Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp. rosemary, chopped

Place chicken in a large casserole or baking dish with shallow sides. In a saucepan, combine marmalade, ginger, mustard, olive oil, curry powder, garlic and salt. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Add lemon juice.

Pour over chicken. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F for about 45 minutes. Remove foil and baste well.

Top with lemon slices (remove any seeds). Bake for about 30 minutes, or just until a knife can be inserted with ease (breast should read 160°F on thermometer.)

Remove chicken to serving dish. Pour drippings from casserole into a saucepan. Combine cornstarch and chicken broth. Stir into mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture thickens. Pour over chicken and serve.

Steamed rice is the perfect side dish. A sweet or hot chutney may be served for dressing the rice.

This was one of the best chicken recipe that I've made. I substituted 2 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for the whole chicken and halved the quantities of the other ingredients. It took a bit less time to cook. I also substituted 2 small oranges for the fresh lemon. Fairly fool-proof rcipes are flexible.

I substituted the orange marmalade for sweet orange marmalade. Turned out nicely if you like orange chicken. Over all the chicken was delicious and will be trying this recipe again. Thank you!
