Turmeric has some major anti-inflammatory effects. We all know that at Jupiter Laboratories, the reason why our best-selling joint supplement is powered by high-quality turmeric.
The Arthritis Foundation also explains: “Several recent studies show that turmeric/curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties and modifies immune system responses.”
Besides this, it gives a great flavor and a beautiful color to any dish.
Ingredients
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 lime
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- ¾ tbsp ground turmeric spice
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 large fennel bulb, cored, sliced
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken (chicken legs or breasts, or a combination)
- 2 oranges, unpeeled, sliced
Instructions
Make the marinade. In a large bowl or deep dish, mix together the first six ingredients: olive oil, white wine, orange juice, lime juice, mustard, and brown sugar.
In a small bowl, mix together the spices: turmeric, garlic powder, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Now, add about half of the spice mix to the liquid marinade. Mix to combine.
Pat the chicken pieces dry and generously season with the remainder of the spice mix. Be sure to lift the chicken skins slightly and apply some of the spice mixes underneath the skin.
Add the seasoned chicken and the remaining ingredients to the large bowl of marinade. Work the chicken well into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (if you don’t have time, you can skip the marinating).
When ready, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Transfer the chicken along with the marinade and everything else to a large baking pan so that everything is comfortably arranged in one layer. Be sure the chicken skin is facing up. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and more brown sugar, if you like.
Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the chicken skin has nicely browned. The internal chicken temperature should be 170 degrees F.
