Grilled Orange Chicken Thighs image

This orangey chicken was the first meal I served my future husband. I chose it because it's easy, but he thought it was amazing and gobbled it up. We were married three months later, so I guess it worked. -Leah Harvath, Heber City, Utah

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I usually serve it over rice, but it would also be great with noodles or vegetables.
