3. Zest 2 of the oranges and sprinkle the zest over the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
4. Juice the 2 oranges you have zested and pour the juice and water around the chicken in the roasting dish.
5. Cut the remaining orange into quarters and place around the chicken.
6. Cover the chicken loosely with tinfoil.
7. Roast the chicken in the oven for 90 minutes, until cooked through and the juices run clear.
8. To test take a knife and insert into the thickest part of the chicken leg and gently press the knife against the leg to let the juices run out.

To create the sauce:
