Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and orange zest. Whisk until well blended.
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish, skin-side up. Scatter the fresh cranberries around the chicken.
Pour the honey-orange mixture evenly over the chicken and cranberries.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
To achieve crispy skin, switch the oven to broil during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking and watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted cranberry chicken warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes or a green salad for a complete meal.
