Broiled Chicken Thighs with Oranges, Fennel and Green Olives image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup pitted green olives, halved
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Maras pepper (or substitute 2 teaspoons paprika plus 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 orange, cut into eighths, but not peeled
8 smallish (about 5 ounces each) bone-in chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler (to high if you have the option).
  • Combine the fennel, onion, olives, garlic, Maras pepper and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently. Spread this mixture in a 9-by-12-inch baking dish or disposable foil pan and scatter orange sections on top.
  • Add the chicken and remaining tablespoon of oil to the now-empty bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Place thighs on top of fennel mixture, skin side down.
  • Place under broiler with pan about 4 inches from the flame and broil for 10 minutes, turning pan front to back after 4 minutes. Turn chicken skin side up and continue to broil, switching pan back to front after about 3 minutes and broiling until the skin is crisp and dark brown and the chicken is opaque throughout (or until center of flesh registers 165 degrees on instant-read thermometer), 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve with crusty bread or couscous to soak up the juices.

I was skeptical about using oranges in a chicken dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The citrus flavor really complemented the chicken and the other ingredients. I will definitely be making this again!
