WHISKEY ORANGE CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS AND DRUMSTICKS
This recipe couldn't be easier. You just blitz up a few ingredients to make the marinade, pour it over the chicken, and you're almost done. If you prep it on a weekend day or early in the week, you can just pop it in the fridge and let it hang for up to 2 days, then cook it whenever you're ready. The chicken comes out of the oven sweet and spicy with lots of little crunchy caramelized bits on the skin--amazing!

Steps:
- Add the cilantro, garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, tomato paste, marmalade, whiskey, olive oil, salt and black pepper to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Put the chicken thighs and drumsticks in a resealable bag or an airtight container. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 2 days (if the chicken is in a bag, place the bag in a baking dish before refrigerating it to avoid leaks).

- Bake until the skin is fully caramelized and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thighs reads 170 degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes. Serve garnished with a bit of fresh cilantro.
ORANGE-CHIPOTLE CHICKEN
Big on flavor and easy on the cook's time, this orange-chipotle chicken recipe is appealing. The sweet-yet-hot sauce gets its heat from the chipotle pepper. I serve this dish with a side of rice. —Cittie, Tasteofhome.com Community

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

Tips:
- To achieve a perfectly glazed chicken, it's crucial to pat it dry before cooking. This helps the glaze adhere better and results in a crispy, evenly browned exterior.
- For a zesty and flavorful glaze, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Avoid pre-packaged or bottled juice, as they often contain added sugars and preservatives that can alter the taste.
- Chipotle peppers add a smoky heat to the glaze. If you prefer a milder flavor, use fewer peppers or substitute them with milder chili peppers.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Garnish the finished dish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for an extra pop of color and flavor.
