Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Seminole orange juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp thyme leaves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until combined and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs skin side up on a large sheet pan. Arrange 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes and 1 sliced red onion around the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Brush the orange-herb glaze evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is crisp and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning any pan juices over the chicken and vegetables for extra flavor.
