As I had a whole chicken {used 1/2 of it}, no thyme, and no orange on hand I ended up changing the recipe a bit. I added juice of 1/2 lemon to the olive oil to baste the chicken, added Herbs the Provence to the liquid, and sprinkled all of it with lemon rind instead of orange rind. It was so delicious - this is definitively a keep and next time I will have only legs, as well as oranges on hand :)
Oh, and just in case you are wondering. I served it with a big bowl of salad; the girls ended up eating the potatoes {yellow}, onions {yellow}, and chorizo as they are not huge chicken fans. Well, I should say it is hit or miss with Mia Rosie - she sometimes loves it but generally is not so keen if it is still on the bone...
