  2. Place chicken, skin side up, on broiler pan.
  3. Bake 25 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat tamari sauce, sugar, vinegar and peel to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to simmer. Beat in orange juice and cornstarch with whisk until well blended. Continue cooking until mixture thickens to glaze-like consistency.
