Orange Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs

I mentioned in my post about the Coconut Lime Cookies that I am enjoying my iPad subscription to Everyday Food. This is another recipe that I made within days of discovering it in the May 2013 issue. In its original form, it has rosemary and uses pork chops. But all I had was chicken thighs and I wanted to serve it with Jasmine rice and broccoli, so I went for a more Asian inspired approach and used basil instead.

The result was scrumptious. So easy, so fast, and so freaking delicious.

Broiled Orange Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs
Adapted from Everyday Food.
Course: Entree
Cuisine: Chicken
Keyword: chicken, glaze, honey, orange
Author: TheSpicedLife
Ingredients
  • 2 oranges, 1 zested and juiced, 1 cut into 8 wedges
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • several sprigs of basil
Instructions
  1. Whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, cider vinegar and honey. Place the basil sprigs, chicken thighs and orange wedges into a plastic bag along with the honey-vinegar mixture. Place in the fridge for at least one hour and up to 4 hours (mine marinated all afternoon).
  2. Place the chicken thighs and oranges on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let simmer until until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the baking sheet in the top third of the oven. Turn the boiler on (I used the "high" boiler setting) and broil the chicken and orange wedges for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken thighs over and brush with the reduced marinade. Continue broiling until the chicken thighs are cooked through, about 5-8 minutes more.
  4. Brush the chicken thighs with reserved marinade and then serve. I drizzled a little extra of the marinade onto the rice and broccoli I served with the dish.

    This was an awesome delight! I made these for my daughter’s graduation party…a straight-forward, easy to do recipe. I ended up cutting the thighs in thirds and we added left over chopped green onions to the marinade. We had to add two scoops of orange concentrate as the oranges didn’t give enough juice. Truly a keeper and will be used repeatedly in the future.

    Citrus brightens any winter day! Love the flavor of blood oranges, especially with chicken!

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture.

My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
