Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin turns golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red chili flakes to form the glaze.
Pour the glaze over the seared chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the glaze halfway through cooking for an extra sticky coating.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
