Sticky Orange Thighs:

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon corn starch
2 tablespoons water
18 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs, well-trimmed of all fat.
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 orange, sliced
3 Tablespoons Chives, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of Black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add orange juice, honey, chicken broth, brown and granulated sugar and red pepper flakes. Bring to a bubble. Mix the corn starch with the 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add slurry to the mixture and turn down the heat, stir until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, while the orange sauce is working, place a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add oil. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear chicken thighs on one side for about 3-4 minutes and turn. Pour the orange sauce over the chicken and scatter sliced oranges on top. Slide skillet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and top with freshly snipped chives.
