Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika

For the Glaze

1 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger grated

For Garnish

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
1 orange orange slices for serving

Method

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and paprika.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Make the Glaze

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Bake the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a baking dish.
Pour the glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with orange slices on the side.
