Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and place in a large baking dish. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the chicken and pour the citrus-honey mixture evenly over them, turning the thighs to coat well.
Step 3: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, basting the chicken every 15 minutes with the pan juices, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is caramelized.
Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
