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 ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 5 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp soy sauce until combined and fragrant.
Step 4: Pour the citrus-honey mixture over the seared chicken thighs in the skillet. Transfer skillet to the oven and roast for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 5: Remove from oven, spoon the glaze over the chicken, and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
