Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs skin side down in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and rice vinegar until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the marmalade mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, thickening slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up, and spoon some of the sauce over each piece.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve the sticky marmalade chicken garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
