The Aussie Gourmet: Orange Barbecue Chicken

The Jewish Home | JANUARY 5, 2023 In The K tchen Orange BBQ Chicken

By Naomi Nachman

This weekend, I was home for the long holiday weekend, and I was playing around with some ideas for chicken recipes for Pesach. I know people don’t usually look this far ahead to Pesach in January, but when the ball drops, I hear the crack of the matzah! I use this time to develop new and interesting Pesach recipe ideas (which also happen to be gluten-free). I hope you like this one, and I love hearing your feedback. Note: this dish can be served year-round; don’t wait for Pesach!
