Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 oranges (1 juiced, 1 thinly sliced)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced, fronds reserved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise, then crosswise if large
8 sprigs thyme, halved
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed

Steps:

  • Place a rimmed baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Whisk the orange juice, honey, mustard, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken, sliced oranges, sliced fennel, red onion, potatoes, thyme and fennel seeds; toss to coat.
  • Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and add the vegetables in a single layer. Arrange the chicken skin-side up on top of the vegetables; season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and roast until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Top with fennel fronds.

SPICY ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS



Spicy Roasted Chicken Thighs image

Here, the bright and zesty flavors of lemon, tomato, ginger, jalapeño and garlic contrast beautifully with the rich, tender dark meat of the chicken. If you like your chicken skin extra crispy, slip it under the broiler for a few minutes after roasting. And yes, you can make this with chicken breasts, but we recommend the skin-on, bone-in variety, and keep a close eye on the time; they'll take less time to cook.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 chicken thighs, with skin, pierced all over with a small knife
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, or cayenne to taste
Juice and zest of 1 whole lemon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander seeds or ground coriander

Steps:

  • Put chicken thighs in a bowl. Mince garlic, ginger and pepper. Toss with all remaining ingredients or put in a small food processor, and grind to a paste. (It is O.K. if the coriander seeds are not fully pulverized. They will add a little crunch.)
  • Rub mixture thoroughly into chicken. At this point, you can cover, and refrigerate for up to a day.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put thighs, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until done.

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CUMIN, CAYENNE AND CITRUS



Chicken Thighs With Cumin, Cayenne and Citrus image

Chicken thighs have a huge advantage over lean breasts. The skin browns nicely and the meat stays juicy even when thoroughly cooked, which makes them ideal for grilling or broiling. The dark, rich meat also responds brilliantly to the strong equatorial flavors often associated with grilling. The Mexican-inspired treatment here, a quick liquid rub for the thighs, packs plenty of punch, even if you use just a little cayenne. What makes it evoke Mexico is the combination of two characteristic spices, cumin and oregano, with a mixture of orange and lime juices to simulate the sour orange that is used in the Yucatán but is rarely seen in this country.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 small onion, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
Pinch ground cloves
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon peanut or other oil
2 tablespoons orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
About 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, or 2 pounds thighs with bones
Chopped cilantro for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill, start a wood or charcoal fire or preheat a broiler; the fire should be moderately hot, and the rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Combine the garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, cayenne, cloves, salt, pepper and oil in a blender or small food processor, and blend until fairly smooth. Add the juices, taste and adjust seasoning; the flavors should be powerful.
  • Smear sauce over chicken; if time allows, marinate 30 minutes or so. Grill 6 to 8 minutes a side, or until meat is nicely browned and cooked medium or better on the inside. (Thighs with bones will take longer, about 20 minutes total.) Serve, garnished with the cilantro.

SPICY ORANGE LIME AND CUMIN ROAST CHICKEN THIGHS



Spicy Orange Lime and Cumin Roast Chicken Thighs image

This is a variation of a recipe I learned from http://TheFrugalChef.com. You can do the chicken with skin on or off - up to you. Or mix with drumsticks or whatever you have. I use extra garlic and chilli flakes but use less if you prefer. You could use the juice from an orange or just use ready-prepared orange juice if you are lazy like me. When I say Turkish pepper, I mean the longer skinnier type, about the size of a regular carrot. I have lots of Turkish grocery stores in my neighbourhood and they sell all kinds of peppers. Any of them will do - some are a bit sweet and others a bit spicy, but you don't want the firey type. The chicken will give off some of its own fat and mix with the lime and orange juice. This is nice to pour over some baby potatoes on the side.

Spicy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Miso and Ginger image

Overall, this is a tangy, slightly sweet and salty recipe with a pleasant kick of heat from the chili sauce. I love chicken thighs; they are just so forgiving, and take so well to so many different types of seasoning.

Provided by mcspeltz

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 medium lemon, zested
3 tablespoons miso paste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat chicken thighs dry and place in a large bowl.
  • Combine garlic, ginger, lemon zest, miso paste, vegetable oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili-garlic sauce in a food processor or small chopper; blend until a saucy red paste forms.
  • Dump paste over the chicken and mix until well coated. Spread chicken in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Spicy Orange Lime and Cumin Roast Chicken Thighs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted in a flavorful marinade made with orange juice, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder. The result is a juicy, tender, and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at the table.
