Description
A delicious recipe for Spiced Orange Glazed Chicken that combines savory spices with a sweet orange glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken thighs.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a baking dish. Pour half of the orange glaze over the chicken, reserving the other half for later.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the dish and brush the chicken with the reserved glaze.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce to the glaze.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad to complement the flavors of the chicken.
