Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil. Set the glaze aside.
Step 4
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and brush half of the marmalade glaze onto the chicken thighs.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, basting the chicken with more glaze halfway through. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve the marmalade glazed chicken warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
