The Juiciest Roasted Blood Orange Chicken with Amish Butter

Chicken dinners can be made a million different ways. Blood oranges have such a beautiful red hue that pops out in any food presentation and has a delicious flavor. I found tons of blood oranges and Meyer lemons at the market and had to roast chicken! 



Herbs, garlic and citrus is a classic winning combo whether you are cooking poultry or seafood. I added tons of herb Amish butter to create gravy at the bottom of the baking dish. I also cut up potatoes and carrots and placed them at the bottom. With the chicken on top of the vegetables, the drippings flavor them to ensure you won't have any leftovers!
