Dos cucharadas de salsa de soja.
Two tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of grated orange peel

Get the chicken ready: Heat your oven to 200°C (400°F) before using it. Wash the chicken and dry it with a paper towel. Cover with olive oil and add salt and pepper. Put garlic and slices of orange inside.
Prepare the orange sauce: In a small pot, mix together orange juice, honey, soy sauce, butter, orange peel, and ginger (if desired). Heat the mixture until the butter is melted and all the ingredients are mixed together. Cook gently for 3-5 minutes.
