These chicken thighs with marmalade cook up entirely in the oven, with a quick and easy orange sauce. A great weeknight meal!
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs, bone-in/skin on
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 Tablespoons cooking oil
Sauce:
- 2/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

- 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoon jalapeno, seeded and cored, finely diced
- 1/2 Tablespoon shredded coconut, optional
For garnish:

- Drizzle oil into an ovenproof skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet or any skillet that is ovenproof). Season chicken thighs with salt and freshly ground pepper and place into prepared skillet, skin side up.
- Place into preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is almost cooked and skin is golden.
