Blood Orange Thyme Roasted Chicken

This blood orange thyme roasted chicken is the perfect use for all those winter blood oranges. It’s the perfect balance of herbs and citrus and it cooks in under 2 hours! Don’t let roasted whole chicken intimidate you because this recipe is crazy easy and crazy delicious! 

Roast chicken is one of those dishes that I was always scared to make until I finally broke down and gave it a try. Trust me. It’s not as scary as it seems. All you need is a good thermometer and patience.

There are no set rules when making roast chicken. A little bit of this, and a little bit of that. It all works. Throw it in, cook until crisp and enjoy! Sometimes I think it’s fun to just let it cool slightly and just pick the meat right off the bird. Not exactly civilized but it sure is tasty. I mean, who really wants to be civilized when there is delicious chicken on the table? I know I don’t! I know Art doesn’t care because when we are both hungry we are HUNGRY!  

This is also a great use for blood oranges. Which we all know are the BEST! Of course, if you don’t have any blood oranges laying around this chicken can easily be substituted with most any orange you can find.
