Description

Juicy, flavorful chicken thighs roasted with baby potatoes and carrots in a bright, tangy orange juice marinade. Sweet honey and soy sauce balance the citrus for a perfect weeknight dinner that’s both comforting and vibrant.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6-10 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup orange juice (not from concentrate if possible)
  • 1/4 cup sour orange marinade or extra orange juice + 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 2 tsp jarlic)
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved (or russet chunks)
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced on the diagonal (optional)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided (2 tbsp for veggies, 2 tbsp for chicken)
  • 1 tbsp Badia Complete Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Adobo seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper plus extra for chicken
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Garnish: sliced scallions, sesame seeds, orange zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, sour orange marinade (or extra juice + vinegar), soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, garlic, and sliced shallot.
  3. Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or dish and season with Badia Complete Seasoning, Adobo, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over chicken and rub seasonings evenly.
  5. In a large baking dish or sheet pan, toss potatoes and carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
  6. Place chicken thighs on top of the vegetables and pour the orange juice mixture over everything.
  7. Roast for 35–45 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender, basting occasionally with pan juices.
  8. Garnish with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and orange zest before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh orange juice for the brightest flavor.
  • You can adjust honey for sweetness and vinegar for tanginess based on preference.
  • Chicken can be marinated for 1–2 hours ahead of time for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
