Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine orange juice, orange marmalade, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Whisk well to form the sauce.

Step 4

Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the crock pot.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 6

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the crock pot and set it aside on a plate.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to form a slurry.

Step 8

Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce in the crock pot and stir well to thicken. Let it cook on high for another 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the crock pot, spoon the thickened sauce over it, and let it warm through for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve the chicken L'Orange over rice or with vegetables, drizzled with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
