# Citrus-Glazed Chicken

## INGREDIENTS

* 6 bone-in chicken breasts (6 ounces each)

### MARINADE:

* ½ cup soy sauce
* 1 cup orange juice
* 1 tablespoon paprika
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* ⅛ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
* ¼ cup vegetable oil

**SERVES 6**

## Make Ahead

Mix the marinade the night before in a stainless steel bowl; add chicken. Cover and refrigerate overnight for extra flavor.

## VARIATION

Use pineapple juice instead of the orange juice for a tropical version that will really wake up your taste buds!

## DIRECTIONS

**1.** Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. For marinade, mix soy sauce, orange juice, paprika, garlic, hot pepper sauce and oil in a medium bowl. Reserve about ⅓ of marinade.

**2.** Pour marinade over chicken. Cover; marinate in refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Preheat broiler. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade in dish.

**3.** Place chicken skin side down on a broiler pan. Brush with some reserved marinade. Broil chicken for 15 minutes, basting twice.

**4.** Turn chicken. Broil, basting several times, for 12 minutes longer. Arrange chicken on a serving platter.

## Make It Quicker

* To ensure better absorption when making a quick marinade, lightly score the chicken skin to expose the meat underneath.
* Preheating the broiler and broiler pan will ensure that the chicken will cook more quickly and evenly.
