This time of year involves a lot of citrus. And that's a good thing. But, toward late winder/early spring, after marmalade and cakes and lots of tangerines in lunch boxes, I start looking for other ideas. Hmmm... what do I like to eat that has orange flavor...
I love orange chicken from our local Chinese restaurant. It's spicy and sweet, which is one of my favorite combinations, it's crispy, and oh-so-bad-for-you. Not to mention I haven't found a good recipe for it that I can make at home. (If you have one, please-oh-please post it in the comments!) What I have found is a couple of other chicken recipes with some good orange (or tangerine) flavors.

- Sticking with a bit of an asian theme, these chicken thighs are broiled instead of fried and have wonderful flavor.
- Spain combines citrus into lots of their dishes, and with a beautiful paprika it's awesome. Nigella Lawson hits it out of the park with this recipe. It's really easy, too.
- Need a recipe for Sunday dinner? Orange and rosemary is a great flavor combination.
- I've flagged my first recipe for next year's Superbowl. Spicy orange chicken wings! Instead of frozen orange juice, I took the juice of about half a dozen tangerines and oranges and reduced it by half. The flavor was really fresh and amazing.
