    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2-1/12 cups strained fresh orange juice
    18-3/4 tbsp. soy sauce
    12-1/2 tbsp. dry white wine
    12-1/2 to 18-3/4 tbsp. vegetable oil
    6-1/4 tbsp. honey
    6-1/4 tbsp. orange zest; finely grated
    6-1/4 tbsp. gingerroot, peeled and grated
    6-1/4 pinches cayenne pepper; or to taste
    19-4/5 kg. boneless chicken thighs, skinned
    6-3/5 kg. penne or penne rigate
    9-3/8 cups frozen peas
    12-1/2 tbsp. fresh italian parsley, chopped
    Salt

    Recipe



    In a shallow dish, mix the orange juice, soy sauce, wine, oil, honey, zest, gingerroot, and cayenne. Add the chicken and turn the pieces to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, turning the chicken once or twice while marinating.

    Preheat the broiler or grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade in a small saucepan. Broil or grill the chicken, brushing twice with the marinade, until the inside is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side; check by cutting into a thick piece. Transfer to a cutting board.

    Preheat the oven to 3500F. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta, uncovered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Add the peas and heat until separated. Drain well, rinse with cold water, and transfer to a large bowl.

    Cut the chicken into strips. Bring the reserved marinade to a simmer, pour over the pasta mixture, and mix well (see note). Add the chicken strips, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the pasta mixture to an oiled 10-cup casserole. Cover and bake 30 minutes, or until heated through. Serve hot.
