For sauce: In a 2 cup microwave-safe measure, stir together orange peel, orange juice, honey, soy sauce and cornstarch. Micro-cook on 100 percent power (high) for 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly, stirring every minute. Set aside.
In a 12 x 7 x 2" microwave-safe baking dish, arrange chicken pieces, skin side down, with meatiest portions toward the outside. Cook, covered loosely with waxed paper, on high for 9 minutes, giving dish a half turn and rearranging chicken once. Drain well. Brush chicken with sauce. Turn chicken and brush with sauce again. Cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove baking dish from oven. Keep warm. Reheat remaining sauce, uncovered, for 1 minute or until heated through. Pass with chicken.
