1 cut-up broiler-fryer chicken, skinned
In large mixing bowl, make marinade by mixing together mayonnaise, garlic, orange juice, orange peel, honey, 1/8 teaspoon of the cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
Add chicken, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, occasionally spooning marinade over chicken.
In pie pan, mix together remaining cinnamon, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, almonds, and olive oil. Bake, stirring occasionally, in 350°F oven about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove chicken from marinade and roll, one piece at a time, in breadcrumb mixture.
Place chicken in single layer in lightly greased shallow baking pan. Bake in 350&176;F oven about 1 hour or until crisp and brown and fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.
