And this is how you make the blood orange chicken from the römertopf
First put your römertopf in a container with water and let it soak in it for 10 minutes to half an hour.
Cut one orange in quarters. You put these quarters in the cavity of the chicken.
Take a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients for the marinade in it. Beat with a whisk until the marinade is smooth. It is quite liquid, but that works out well in the römertopf.
Then clean the shallots and cut them into a few slices. Cut the garlic bulb in the middle. Separate the cloves and scatter them on the bottom of the römertopf along with the shallots. Place the chicken on top.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and sprinkle with some extra salt and pepper. Slice the second orange and divide it on top and on the side of the chicken.
