Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the thighs and sear the other side for 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and spoon the marmalade-mustard mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme leaves for added aroma and flavor.
Serve warm with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
