Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 chicken drumsticks skin on
2 chicken thighs (skin on or off)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
A generous pinch of ground pepper
3 tablespoons orange marmalade (I use this brand with no added sugar)
4 teaspoons wholegrain mustard (I use this brand which has very little sugar added)
4 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F.
  • Place the chicken pieces (skin side up) on a flat baking tray covered with foil or parchment paper. I used foil as I was at a friend's house but ideally you would want to use parchment paper. Otherwise, drizzle the tray with some olive oil. The parchment paper is mostly there to catch any sweet juices and to prevent them from sticking to your tray, which is a pain in the *** to clean.
  • So, the chicken is on the tray, not sprinkle with pieces with salt and some pepper. Put the tray in the oven, middle shelf, and bake for 17 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix together the marmalade, mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the chicken and spread the marmalade over the top. Place the tray back in the oven for 15 more minutes. Prepare a side of vegetables or a salad while it's cooking.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons orange zest plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the marmalade, orange zest and juice, orange liqueur, vinegar, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  • Pull the side flaps of overhanging skin taut underneath the chicken on each side to make the thighs into nice, tight packages. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up in a single layer in the center of the lined baking sheet.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of the orange sauce over each piece of chicken. Roast for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the broccoli and shallots together in a medium bowl with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon another tablespoon of the sauce over the top of the chicken. Arrange the broccoli and shallots around the chicken on the baking sheet. Continue to toast until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and shallots are soft and caramelized, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with the orange segments and zest.

MARMALADE GLAZED CHICKEN



Marmalade Glazed Chicken image

This is a recipe my sister-in-law Aggie submitted for our family cookbook. She recommends serving it with wild rice and green beans.

Provided by Chef TraceyMae

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/4".
  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip chicken in egg, then in crumbs to coat well. Shake off excess.
  • Cook until golden brown, about 1-1/2 minutes per side.
  • Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  • Add Grand Marnier to skillet.
  • Bring to a boil, scraping brown bits.
  • Blend in marmalade.
  • Mix in remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low.
  • Return chicken to skillet.
  • Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Baste chicken with glaze and continue cooking until juices run clear when pierced with tip of sharp knife, about 5 minutes.
  • Check frequently to avoid burning glaze.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your chicken thighs the most flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you love. Some good options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken thighs are a relatively forgiving cut of meat, but they can become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the marmalade glaze is thick and sticky. The marmalade glaze is what will give your chicken thighs that delicious sticky coating. To make sure the glaze is thick and sticky, cook it over medium heat until it has reduced and thickened.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides. Marmalade glazed chicken thighs can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Marmalade glazed chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken thighs are marinated in a flavorful marinade, then cooked until they are tender and juicy. The marmalade glaze is thick and sticky, and it gives the chicken thighs a delicious sweet and tangy flavor. Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
