1 cup citrus punch juice
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 garlic cloves, minced
salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1 (4 lbs.) Chicken, whole

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Make glaze: In a large skillet, combine juices, rosemary, garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a liquid-measuring cup; stir in vinegar. Reserve cup glaze for serving.
Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Place, breast side up, on prepared baking pan; bake 15 minutes, then brush chicken with glaze. Continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, brushing with glaze every 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes; drizzle with reserved glaze. Serve.

Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Thighs

Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Thighs


1 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 375F.
Rinse chicken pieces; pat dry. Place thighs on a roasting rack in an oiled roasting pan. Brush chicken lightly with oil; sprinkle with salt, thyme and pepper.

Season thighs with salt, pepper and thyme.

Season thighs with salt, pepper and thyme.

Roast, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender and no longer pink, and juices run clear.
While birds are roasting, prepare pomegranate glaze. Place juice in a small saucepan; sprinkle with a dash of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Set aside.
When chicken is done, brush them liberally with some of the juice glaze. Roast 5 minutes more.
Serve

POMOf course you can make the glaze with fresh pomegranates, but I always find it easier to use a bottle POM Wonderful juice!
