Ingredients
  

  • 6 -10 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup orange juice not from concentrate if possible
  • ¼ cup sour orange marinade or extra orange juice + 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey for the perfect balance of sweet and tangy
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or 2 tsp jarlic)
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced
  • 1½ lbs baby potatoes halved (or russet chunks)
  • 2 medium carrots sliced on the diagonal (optional)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil divided (2 tbsp for veggies, 2 tbsp for chicken)
  • 1 tbsp Badia Complete Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Adobo seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper plus extra for chicken
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • Garnish: sliced scallions sesame seeds, orange zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven: 400°F (200°C).
  • Prep pan: Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  • 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.
  • Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, sour orange marinade, soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper.
  • Nestle chicken: Place seasoned chicken thighs on top of the veggie mixture, skin-side up.
  • Bake (first round): Pour half the sauce around the chicken (not on the skin yet). Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes.
  • Glaze + finish: Brush remaining sauce over the chicken. Increase oven temp to 425°F and bake another 10–15 minutes, until chicken is golden, sticky, and reaches 165°F internal temp.
  • Garnish & serve: Top with scallions, sesame seeds, and orange zest. Serve with those caramelized potatoes straight from the pan. Use the leftover marinade to pour over your chicken and potatoes.
