Recipe - Chicken Ya Ya

1 2 1/23 pound chicken skinned a
One half teaspoon Red pepper
One half teaspoon Paprika
1 cup Finely chopped onions
One half cup Finely chopped celery
2 tablespoon Tomato paste
1 tablespoon Low sodium Worcesterschire
One fourth teaspoon Ground ginger
One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Chili powder
1 tablespoon Reduced calorie margarine
One half cup Finely chopped bell pepper
1 6 ounce can orange juice
2 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Grated orange peel
One fourth teaspoon Hot sauce

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the chicken halves in an eight
inch baking dish sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Combine the salt,
red pepper, chili powder and paprika; mix well and sprinkle over the
chicken; set aside.

In a medium skillet over high heat, melt the margarine. Add the onions,
bell pepper and celery; saute, stirring constantly for five minutes. Add
all the remaining ingredients. Cook, constantly stirring, for five more
minutes, or until thge sauce thickens, then remove from the heat and pour
over the chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Turn
the chicken over and baste with the sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes
longer, or until the chicken is tender, basting often.

note: Rather than use margarine to saute the vegetables, I have used Pam,
spraying both the vegetables and the pan. Works just as well. Also, for a
little spicier dish, try using Chinese red pepper instead of the ground red
and use a Tbsp of hot sauce. I also usually leave out the ginger.
