Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5 minutes until skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook 3 minutes on the other side.
Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger until well combined and fragrant.
Step 4: Pour the citrus glaze over the chicken thighs in the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 5: Remove from oven and spoon the glaze over the chicken again. Garnish with 2 tbsp sliced scallions before serving.
