Orange Chicken

I came up with this recipe, it's a good one!
This is a very flavorful, fork tender meat fall off the bone keeper !
I took one whole bird, removed the guTs and washed inside and out.
In a foil lined roasting pan (for easy clean up), I put a few slices of onions, carrots and stalks of celery on the bottom. Cut four corners off of a fresh orange, stuck a few whole cloves in the orange and then jammed the whole orange inside the cavity of the bird, placed the bird on the veggies in the pan. Sprinkled with black pepper and garlic powder. Poured some teriyaki sauce on top of the chicken. Baked covered in a 350 degree oven for about an hour and a half. Then I stuffed as much fresh spinach as would fit around chicken in pan, poured a little more teriyaki sauce on top of bird along with a tablespoon of dark brown sugar along with a splash of red wine vinegar on the spinach. Back in the oven for another hour. Placed a few cloves of garlic and some fresh grape tomatoes around. Turned the oven off, then back in the oven for another hour. Simply irresistible!Along with steamed white rice flavored with orange peel, I really can't describe how good it was.Although the spinach cooked down to nothing, the roasted garlic cloves were great and even the clove stabbed orange in the chickens butt was tasty.
