Categories     dinner, easy, quick, poultry, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 medium onion, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons dried mint
3 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated orange zest (from about 2 large oranges)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: Place the onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, dried mint, garlic, orange zest, orange juice, turmeric, salt and black pepper in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and leave in the fridge until ready to cook or for up to 12 hours.
  • When ready to cook, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or frying pan over medium high and wait for the pan to become very hot. (This ensures a nice sear.) Add the chicken and the marinade to the pan, and cook until chicken is browned underneath and easily releases from the pan, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir the onions every now and then so that they cook evenly. If the pan looks dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan to prevent the juices from drying out. Flip the chicken and cook on the other side until the chicken is cooked through, another 5 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this dish. If you only have access to store-bought orange juice, be sure to use 100% pure orange juice with no added sugar.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This spiced chicken with oranges recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the orange sauce is tangy and sweet. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
