Best Sticky Orange Glazed Chicken Thighs Recipes

ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with non stick cooking spray. If you want to be fancy, line the bottom of the pan with orange slices (optional).
• In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Place your chicken thighs skin-side up in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the glaze over the chicken thighs.
• Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes. Take the remaining glaze and pour it over the chicken.
• Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes. The skin will get nice and crisp and browned.

STICKY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS IN BUTTER LETTUCE

Steps:

• Put the orange juice, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 15 minutes. Keep about 1/2 cup warm for serving and set aside the rest for glazing.
• Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the chicken with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill smooth-side down, covered, until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brush generously with the glaze. Cook, covered, until charred and the thighs are just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Flip again, glaze, and cook uncovered about 1 minute. Remove the chicken to a cutting board, sprinkle with the chives if using, and rest the chicken for a few minutes.
• Slice the chicken into thin strips. Serve with butter lettuce leaves for wraps and the reserved glaze on the side.

QUICK AND EASY SWEET AND STICKY ORANGE CHICKEN GLAZE

Steps:

• To make the glaze: In a medium bowl, mix the hoisin, orange zest and enough orange juice so the hoisin is a little looser but still thick enough to stick to the chicken.
• Toss with hot chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds to coat.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.
