    1                    chicken
    3      tablespoons   Butter
      1/2  tablespoon    dijon mustard
      1/2  cup           orange juice
      1/4  cup           brown sugar

    1      MM            M---------------------------SAUCE----- -- ¥
                         
 
    1      Tablespoon    cornstarch
      1/4  cup           water
      1/8  cup           vodka
 
 Cut chickens in half lengthwise.  Blend butter and mustard together. Rub 
 chicken inside and out with this mixture.  Place chicken, skin side down, 
 in baking dish with tight-fitting cover.
 Preheat oven to 375. Combine orange juice and brown sugar, stirring until 
 sugar is completely dissolved. Pour over and around chicken. Cover and 
 bake for 30 minutes.
 Turn chicken over, baste with pan juices, and continue to bake, uncovered, 
 for 20 minutes longer, basting occasionally.
 Remove chicken to heated platter and keep warm.  Mix cornstarch with 
 water.  Stir this into juices from pan. Cook over low heat, stirring 
 constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vodka, and pour 
 sauce over chicken.
 Sylvia’s comments: I'm unenthusiastic about this one, and I'm not sure 
 why.  The chicken was pretty bland, but chicken usually tastes bland to 
 me, and the sauce was certainly flavorful.  The combination of mustard and 
 orange juice didn't do a thing for my taste buds.  It also took about 1/2 
 hour longer to bake than the recipe called for. Next time, I think I'll 
 leave out the mustard/butter rub, add a little pumpkin pie spice to the 
 orange juice/brown sugar mixture, and cook the whole mess in the crockpot 
 rather than the oven.
