Directions
Preheat & Prepare Marinade:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, zest, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken:
Place chicken thighs in a large baking dish. Pour marinade over them, turning to coat all sides evenly. For deeper flavor, let it marinate for 30 minutes if you have the time—totally worth it but not mandatory.
Roast the Chicken:
Roast chicken uncovered for 35–40 minutes. Halfway through, baste the chicken with pan juices to lock in moisture and flavor.
Caramelize the Glaze:
For that irresistible crispy, caramelized finish, switch your oven to broil during the last 3–5 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn!
Garnish & Serve:
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh orange slices and thyme or rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like rice, couscous, or a crisp salad.
