Place orange juice, olive oil, hot sauce, garlic, parsley and salt and pepper in a glass bowl and mix thoroughly. Remove 1/3 of the dressing and set aside.
Place thinly sliced fennel in a sealable plastic bag or a ceramic dish. Pour 2/3's of the mixture overtop of the fennel. Seal the bag and place in the fridge for at least 5 hours.
