Mix these together and coat chicken liberally, grill chicken till almost done then baste with sauce till done.
Sauce ingredients:
Juice of 2 oranges, I used 1 blood orange and 1 naval orange 'cause that's just how I roll :)

Dice some roasting potatoes, toss all over with seasoning, roast.
Orange-Gingered Carrots and Spinach
Saute some baby carrots in a generous amount of butter till just browning.
Grate in some fresh ginger till fragrant and add some sauce from above.
Add spinach at end and just wilt down.
If you need dessert, just put some orange honey and cinnamon over sliced peaches and warm through.
You could serve with ice cream, or whipped cream or both! Great for a dinner party with friends~
Yummy Yum Yum- I hope you enjoyed your trip.
