Orange Rosemary Chicken

from allrecipes.com, submitted by DEERPANT

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups orange juice 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 (2.5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces

DIRECTIONS:

1.	In a medium bowl, mix the orange juice, olive oil, chives, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in the mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
2.	Preheat the oven broiler.
3.	Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
4.	Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet. Broil 30 minutes in the preheated oven, 6 to 8 inches from heat. Turn and brush frequently with the remaining marinade mixture, until no longer pink and juices run clear.

I actually tossed the chicken (I used chicken breasts) on the grill but using the broiler would be fine too.  I really enjoyed the flavors in this dish.  We had steamed chopped zucchini and yellow squash with this.  This is another healthy, easy and inexpensive meal.
