The combination of zesty orange, aromatic cardamom, and sweet honey creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Let’s jump right into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 6 chicken thighs (approx. 800g)
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup honey
• 4-5 cardamom pods, crushed
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• oven-safe skillet
• meat thermometer

Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, crushed cardamom pods, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them on each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Pour the orange and honey mixture over the chicken thighs in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh orange juice over the chicken just before serving. The acidity will brighten up the dish and elevate the overall taste!
