STICKY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS IN BUTTER LETTUCE
Steps:
- Put the orange juice, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 15 minutes. Keep about 1/2 cup warm for serving and set aside the rest for glazing.
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the chicken with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill smooth-side down, covered, until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brush generously with the glaze. Cook, covered, until charred and the thighs are just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Flip again, glaze, and cook uncovered about 1 minute. Remove the chicken to a cutting board, sprinkle with the chives if using, and rest the chicken for a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips. Serve with butter lettuce leaves for wraps and the reserved glaze on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in upper third. Season chicken with salt and pepper and arrange, skin side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until deep golden brown and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 1 teaspoon salt, juice concentrate, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until mixture has thickened, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Heat broiler. Transfer chicken to a large bowl, add glaze, and toss to coat. Drain off fat from sheet. Return chicken to sheet and broil until sauce is bubbling and chicken is dark brown in spots, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the glaze: In a medium bowl, mix the hoisin, orange zest and enough orange juice so the hoisin is a little looser but still thick enough to stick to the chicken.
- Toss with hot chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds to coat.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the chicken thighs: Remove any excess fat from the chicken thighs before cooking to prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Use a good quality orange marmalade: The marmalade is the key to the sticky orange glaze, so be sure to use a good quality brand that has a nice citrus flavor.
- Glaze the chicken thighs frequently: Baste the chicken thighs with the orange glaze every few minutes during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken thighs, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve immediately: Sticky orange glazed chicken thighs are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Sticky orange glazed chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken thighs are tender and juicy, and the orange glaze is sweet and sticky. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
