Recipe By : www.eatchicken.com
Makes 4 servings.

1 cut-up chicken
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 tablespoons butter or margarine -- divided
2 tablespoons julienne orange peel
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
8 whole baby carrots -- cooked

In plastic bag, mix together flour, salt and pepper. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat all sides.

In large baking pan, place 4 tablespoons of the butter or margarine and heat to melt.

Roll chicken in butter or margarine to coat all sides and arrange, skin side down, in single layer. Bake in 350 F. oven for 30 minutes.

In small saucepan, place remaining 4 tablespoons butter or margarine and melt over medium heat. Stir in orange peel, lemon juice, liqueur, soy sauce and honey. Set aside 2 tablespoons mixture.

Remove chicken from oven, turn and pour orange-honey mixture over chicken. Return to oven and bake, basting occasionally, 30 minutes longer or until chicken is glazed and fork can be inserted with ease.

Add reserved orange-honey mixture to carrots and serve with chicken.
