Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in Heinz 57 Sauce, honey, soy sauce, and fresh orange juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken warm, drizzled with extra sauce from the skillet. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
