Directions
In large, heavy, oven-proof skillet melt butter. Let cool, but do not let solidify.
Turn chicken in butter to coat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Tuck edges under, forming compact shape about 1½ inches thick.
Place chicken in skillet, skinned side up.
Bake at 425 degrees F, basting occasionally, for about 15 minutes.
Remove chicken to warm serving plates; keep warm.
Sauté almonds in butter until lightly toasted.
Sprinkle with salt.
Let cool to crisp.
Add orange-juice concentrate to drippings in skillet; stir over high heat until reduced by ⅓.
Stir in bourbon; heat through. Stir in remaining salt and pepper; pour sauce over chicken.
