Ingredients 

2 large oranges
1 cup thick teriyaki baste and glaze
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
1 (3-1/2 pounds) Gold'n Plump® Whole Chicken
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag; pour in half of marinade mixture. Reserve remaining marinade.

Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Heat oven to 425°F. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve); place on rimmed baking sheet. Tie legs with kitchen twine and tuck wings under body. Roast chicken, basting occasionally with marinade from bag, for about 1 hour or until juices run clear and internal temperature in thigh is 165°F.

Pour reserved marinade, any leftover marinade from bag, and broth into medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Serve sauce with chicken.
