This is one of the most versatile recipes I’ve ever run across. It’s great for a weeknight dinner at home or a barbecue picnic in the park. It’s also easy recipe to double or quadruple for a large crowd.

Citrus Chicken

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup pineapple juice

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons water

1 package dry Italian dressing mix

1 whole broiler/fryer, cut up

Place chicken parts in a large bowl with an airtight lid. Combine first five ingredients and blend well; pour over chicken in bowl. Seal and allow to marinade for at least an hour. At this point you can cook the chicken – marinade and all – in a slow cooker four hours on high. Or you could discard the marinade and bake in the oven at 350F for 45 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. You might also cook the chicken on an outdoor grill. Serve with hot rice and a tossed salad.
