Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup orange marmalade
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin turns golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red chili flakes to form the glaze.

Step 5

Pour the glaze over the seared chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the glaze halfway through cooking for an extra sticky coating.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
