Wash chicken, pat dry. Combine the marinade ingredients in blender, puree in blender. With fingers, make tunnels between skin and flesh of chicken over the breast, reaching into the thigh.
Place chicken in a deep bowl. Pour marinade into the tunnels. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight for next days meal.
Remove chicken from marinade, place on rack in roasting pan. Roast at 350°F for 1 hr or until juices run clear and leg wiggles easily. (Baste with marinade while roasting to keep chicken moist.) Remove from pan, set on platter, garnish with parsley and mandarin oranges.

This takes time, but is worth the wait. Very tender, juicy chicken.
