    Print Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
    • 1 large orange (zest and juice)
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary (dried or fresh)
    • 1/2 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large roasting pan. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    3. Make Orange-Cranberry Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, honey, olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Stir until well mixed.
    4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the orange-cranberry mixture over the seasoned chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
