Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and orange zest. Whisk until well blended.
Step 4
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish, skin-side up. Scatter the fresh cranberries around the chicken.
Step 5
Pour the honey-orange mixture evenly over the chicken and cranberries.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
To achieve crispy skin, switch the oven to broil during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking and watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the roasted cranberry chicken warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes or a green salad for a complete meal.
