Ingredients:

4 carrots, sliced

2 oranges (1 sliced, the other juiced) Orange zest
1 leek, sliced (white part only)
3 cloves garlic, sliced 1 bay leaf
1 piece fresh ginger, grated
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, thyme
Directions:
1. Remove the bones from the chicken (if you can't do it, ask your butcher to do it for you).
2. Boil the bones with a pinch of salt and a bay leaf for 1 hour.
3. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, ginger, and garlic. Rub the chicken with the mixture on all sides.
4. In a baking dish, add the diced vegetables and season with salt, pepper, thyme, ginger, garlic, orange juice, and zest, and olive oil. Mix well.
5. Strain the chicken bones to remove any small bones, and pour the broth over the vegeta-bles.
6. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side down.
7. Roast in the oven until the chicken is cooked through on one side.
8. Turn the chicken over and add the orange slices on top. Check the liquid levels, and if needed, add some of the broth that you boiled earlier.
9. Once the vegetables have softened and the chicken is fully cooked, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve the vegetables with the chicken on top.
