Mix wine, a splash of olive oil, orange and lemon juice, mustard, brown sugar and pepper in a large mixing bowl

Pat chicken dry and add to bowl with fennel wedges, orange slices and fennel seeds. Mix with hands to coat well and cover. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 2 hours (we left overnight)

Preheat oven to 180°C

Spread chicken, fennel and orange slices evenly in a big roasting dish and pour the marinade over. Roast for 45 to 50 minutes. Chicken will be cooked through and browned on top

Transfer to a serving plate and cover with tinfoil
