1汤匙姜，切碎

• ½ cup soy sauce

半杯酱油

• ½ cup honey

半杯蜂蜜

• 1 cup orange juice

1杯橘子汁

2汤匙芥末糊

• 2 tablespoons melted butter

2汤匙融化的黄油

• 1½ tablespoons potato starch (chuño)

1.5汤匙土豆淀粉

步骤：

When I find a recipe I love, I try as many variations of it as I can think of. Such is the case with this dish. Sometimes I use orange juice for the marinade; sometimes I only use butter and mustard. I have served it with potato gratin, sautéed vegetables, or stir-fried rice. You can try your own combinations, and pick the one you like the most.

当我发现一款喜欢的菜谱的时候，我会试一下我能想到的超多版本，这道菜就是这么来的。有时候我会橘子汁做腌料，有时候我仅仅用黄油和芥末。我会和奶油烤土豆、炒蔬菜或者炒饭一起吃，你可以试着寻找你自己的组合，挑选一款你最喜欢的。

1.   Place the chicken in a baking pan. I left the skin on because it protects the flesh in the oven, but feel free to use skinned chicken if you prefer.

把鸡肉放在一个烤盘里面，我留着鸡皮因为我想让它保护鸡肉，但是你想要去皮的也是可以的。

2.   Season with garlic, lime juice and zest, and ginger.

在鸡肉上面撒上大蒜、柠檬汁和皮以及姜。

3.   Combine the soy sauce, honey, orange juice, mustard, and butter, in a small bowl. Pour this over the chicken. Cover and marinate overnight or at least for two hours, in the fridge.

把酱油、蜂蜜和橘子汁、芥末以及黄油混合在一只小碗里面。把这些混合物倒在鸡肉上面，放在冰箱里，盖上盖子腌制一夜，或者至少2小时。

4.   Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

预热烤箱大约190摄氏度。

5.   Uncover the chicken and bake for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with its own juices. The chicken should have a beautiful brown color when it’s ready.

把鸡肉取出来，烤上1h，每隔20分钟，把烤盘上的汁液刷在鸡肉上。鸡肉应该有一个很好看的棕色，当烤好的时候。

6.   Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and put over medium heat. Dissolve the potato starch in 3 tablespoons of water, and add it to the saucepan, stirring constantly until slightly thick.

把汁液转移到一个煎锅里面，中火加热。把土豆淀粉在3汤匙水里面溶解，然后加入煎锅里面，搅拌一下，直到汁液变厚重。

7.   Serve the chicken with this sauce.

用鸡肉蘸着酱汁食用~

You may use chicken breasts, wings, or legs, adjusting the cooking time, to make this recipe.

你也可以用鸡胸、鸡翅膀或者鸡腿，调整一下烹制时间即可。

Serve with white rice, stir-fried veggies, or sliced and roasted sweet potatoes.

这道菜和白米饭、炒菜或者烤红薯一起吃都很棒~
