| 1. | Heat oven to 375°F. Fold wings of chicken across back with tips touching. Tie or skewer drumsticks to tail. Place chicken, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone. |
| 2. | Roast uncovered 45 minutes. In small bowl, mix sherry, soy sauce and garlic powder; brush on chicken. Roast uncovered about 45 minutes longer, brushing once or twice with sherry mixture, until thermometer reads 180°F and juice is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Discard any remaining sherry mixture |
| 3. | Remove seeds from kumquats. In 1-quart saucepan, mix orange juice, orange marmalade, lemon juice and ginger. Heat to boiling. In small bowl, mix water and cornstarch; stir into orange juice mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir about 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in kumquats, almonds and liqueur. Serve chicken with sauce. |
| To Grill: If using charcoal grill, place drip pan directly under grilling area, and arrange coals around edge of firebox. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat. Prepare chicken as directed above, and use barbecue meat thermometer. Cover and grill chicken, breast side up, over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill and 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 45 minutes. Mix sherry, soy sauce and garlic powder; brush on chicken. Cover and grill about 45 minutes longer, brushing once or twice with sherry mixture, until thermometer reads 180°F and juice is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut.
