Chicken in oranges is an exquisite recipe from European cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken meat with refreshing citrus acidity and spicy notes of curry. This dish offers a gastronomic journey to warm Mediterranean regions where the tradition of pairing meat with fruits is considered an art. Chicken marinated in orange juice with white wine and spices acquires deep aroma and tenderness. Baking at high temperatures helps to reveal all flavor nuances, while caramelized orange slices add visual appeal and a tangy taste to the dish. It is the perfect treat for cozy family dinners or festive occasions, served with light salads or fluffy mashed potatoes.
