Too much time spent on Orange Sauce to produce a bad sauce. Pan burns very badly with all the high heat & time. It took well over an hour for orange juice to reduce. I kept thinking that after I added the stock to this - it better be worth it, but I was wrong ! This made so much sauce, that even if I didn't throw if away , I would have to anyway. The Potato Puree was so so, make this only if you really like onion flavor. The chicken alone was the only good thing, with all the herbs added. I am never disappointed with Bobbies recipes, so this is a first for me. I will never make this again.

The chicken was very moist and the flavor of the herbs was wonderful. If you make this, start the sauce early because it took over an hour to reduce the orange juice. The flavor it added to the chicken was worth it. I would add less pepper next time, probably 1 teaspoon, then another, then to taste. I actually am going to stuff this chicken in ravioli and toss in the orange sauce.

This recipe takes a long time to make - reducing the orange juice and the chicken stock is the culprit. But wow, is it good! This is definitely company chicken. I have made it a couple of times to rave reviews. My nephew, who doesn't like onion or garlic much, still loved the potatoes, which are extremely flavorful. Just beware - if you have leftover potatoes you'll have to add more olive oil because they get a bit dry the second day.

The chicken was fantastic. Very tender, great flavor. I marinated for approx four hours. I also braised it in pan just as Bobby did on the show. The burnt orange sauce however left me scratching my head. It looked great on TV but when I made it I quickly realized how much attention it took. You can't put 6 cups of OJ in a "medium" saucepan on "high" heat and not have it boil over in two seconds.
The sauce just seemed a little too expensive and time consuming for what turned out to be a mediocre result. This recipe makes enough sauce for 20 chickens in my opinion. Besides the chicken was great and didn't need the sauce. The potatoes were not as good as they looked either. There are many more mashed potato
recipes that provide much better flavor and texture.
