Best Orange Honey Chicken Thighs Recipes

ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large measuring cup whisk together 1 1/2 cups orange juice, corn syrup, honey, mustard, vinegar, red pepper, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Add the flour to a wide, shallow dish. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper then coat both sides of the chicken with the flour. Pat off excess flour. Add the oil to an ovenproof 12-inch skillet. Set the pan over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down; cook until the skin is well browned and most of the fat has rendered, about 8-14 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of fat from pan. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the orange juice mixture to the pan and increase the heat to high. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and has reduced to 1 cup - a heatproof spatula should leave a slight trail when dragged through the glaze, about 6 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and tilt so the glaze pools in the corner of the pan. One at a time, dip the chicken thighs in the glaze, coating both sides evenly and then place the thighs skin side up in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Set the skillet back on the stove top over high heat and cook the glaze, stirring constantly, until it is thick and syrupy - a heatproof spatula will leave a wide trail when dragged through the glaze, about 1 minute. Off the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice and whisk to combine. Drizzle each chicken thigh with some of the glaze before serving.

• 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 1/2 cups orange juice, corn syrup, honey, mustard, vinegar, pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in medium bowl. Place flour in pie plate, then season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working with one chicken thigh at a time, coat chicken with flour, patting off excess. 2. Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken thighs skin-side down; cook until well browned and most of fat has rendered from skin, 8 to 14 minutes. (If after 3 minutes you don't hear definite sizzling, increase heat to medium-high. If after 6 minutes chicken is darker than lightly browned, reduce heat slightly.) Turn chicken and lightly brown other side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to plate. 3. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pan. Add shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add orange juice mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup (heatproof spatula should leave slight trail when dragged through glaze), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and tilt to one side so glaze pools in corner of pan. Using tongs, dip each chicken thigh in pooled glaze to coat evenly and place skin-side up in skillet. 4. Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until thickest part of thighs registers 175 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter and let rest 5 minutes. Return skillet to high heat (be careful-handle will be very hot) and cook glaze, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy (heatproof spatula should leave wide trail when dragged through glaze), about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Spoon 1 teaspoon glaze over each thigh and serve, passing remaining glaze at table.
