Tips for Success
- Season first: The olive oil + Complete + Adobo combo locks in flavor before the glaze even touches the chicken.
- Crispy skin tip: Keep sauce off the chicken skin until the last 10–15 minutes. That’s how you get crispy + sticky all in one bite.
- Extra glaze: Reduce leftover sauce on the stove until syrupy and drizzle before serving.

You can make a simple substitute by combining extra orange juice with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lime juice. This will mimic the tangy flavor of sour orange.

- Arrange veggies: Add potatoes (and carrots if using) to the pan. Pour half of the sauce mixture over them (see step 5) and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss well to coat.
- Season chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry. Rub with 2 tbsp olive oil to fully coat. Sprinkle both sides with Complete Seasoning, Adobo, and cracked black pepper.
