Share A Meal Monday

This is a family favorite recipe. The story behind it is kinda funny actually - apparently long ago my parents went to some friend's house for dinner. The friends made this meal and did not like it at all. My mom and dad loved it and have been making it for special occasions ever since. I think I'll be requesting it for my birthday this year (which is coming up on the 30th, friends.......) It is a family favorite although my dear husband bashfully informed me a year or two ago that he doesn't particularly love it. I was aghast! How could he? So keep in mind, it's not something for everyone but the Todd's love it! Give it a try, I'd like to know what you think.

Transfer mixture to a casserole dish, cover and bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally in orange sauce. Remove chicken from sauce and place in serving dish. Skim off fat from sauce.
