Orange Chicken

Put a rack int he middle of the oven and heat it at 375
Get around 3 pounds of chicken rinse it and pat it dry
Smear the skin with Dijon Mustard
Put the chicken skin side down in a shallow pan with enough room to hold it in a single layer. Sprinkle it with:
1/2 cup fine chopped onion
2 tablespoon butter (they say unsaltted but be real!)
Salt and pepper
Pour around the chicken:
1 1/2 cups orange juice
Bake basting it at least once for 30 mins. Turn the chicken and sprinkle with:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Bake for about 15 or 20 more mins.
Add more orange juice if the pan gets dry.
Take the chicken out and pour the juice into a saucepan and heat it at high till it gets thick and pour it over the chicken.
Tastes great with rice.
