Description

A delightful dish featuring tender chicken thighs marinated in a sweet and tangy orange sauce, roasted to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 orange (zested and juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  5. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs for a few hours or overnight. Maple syrup can be used in place of honey for a similar sweetness.
