Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and flour.
2. 2. Heat the Orange Infused Olive Oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. 3. Add the chicken and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
4. 4. Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. 5. Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and water.
6. 6. Simmer the glaze for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until it lightly thickens.
7. 7. Return the chicken to the skillet and turn it in the glaze until fully coated.
8. 8. Spoon extra glaze over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For the brightest flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest the orange before juicing it. If the glaze thickens too much, loosen it with a tablespoon or two of water while simmering. Spoon the pan glaze over the chicken just before serving for the best finish.

Recipe Tips

Pat the chicken dry before seasoning so it sears well. Simmer the glaze just long enough to thicken and coat the back of a spoon, then spoon it over the chicken at the end for a glossy finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this chicken with rice, roasted potatoes, or steamed green beans to catch every bit of the citrus glaze. It also works well sliced over a simple salad or tucked into warm sandwich rolls.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or covered dish until warmed through, adding a splash of water if the glaze needs loosening.

Variations

Try the same glaze with boneless thighs for a richer finish, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little heat. A few thin slices of fresh orange on top make the plate look extra bright.
