Orange Glazed Chicken

1 chicken cut up
salt and pepper to taste

Glaze

1/2 cup sweet orange marmalade
2 tbsps. soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsps. Dijon mustard

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking pan with foil for easy clean up. The pan should be large enough to accomodate all of th chicken pieces without crowding them.

Wash chicken and pat dry. Place chicken in prepared pan and salt and pepper each piece. Place in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, depending on the sizes of the chicken pieces.

Mix all of the glaze ingredients in a bowl. After chicken has cooked, test for doneness by piercing the meat with a knife. If the kife can be inserted easily and the juices of the chicken run clear, it's done. Spoon glaze evenly over the chicken pieces and continue to cook another 10-15 minutes until glaze has nicely browned.
