Orange Molasses Glazed Chicken

Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh orange juice (5 to 6 oranges)

• 1/4 cup molasses
• 4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400° . In a large skillet, combine juice, vinegar, and molasses. Boil over high heat, skimming foam occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve half the glaze for serving.
2. 2
   Place chicken breasts on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and brush with glaze.

   Bake chicken, brush with glaze twice, until juices run clear when pierced, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot with reserved glaze.
