Just three pantry staples combine into a tangy, caramelized glaze that clings to seared chicken thighs. The marmalade melts down with soy sauce into a glossy coating while the chicken finishes in the oven, making this ideal for busy weeknights when shopping lists need to stay short.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat a lightly oiled 9-inch skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade and soy sauce until smooth.

  4. Transfer the seared chicken thighs to a baking dish and pour the marmalade mixture evenly over the top, turning to coat.

  5. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.

  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then spoon any remaining glaze from the dish over the top before serving.
