Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 3 oranges
  • 1 lime
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220 ºC
  • In a small bowl prepare the glaze/marinade sauce. Add the juice of the 2 oranges, the lime and the lemon. Add the honey and the soy sauce. A pinch of salt and black pepper and the sauce is ready.
  • Use ⅓ of the preparation to marinate the chicken thighs for 10 minutes at least.
  • The ⅔ of the sauce will be used as a glaze. In a small nonstick pan in medium heat, pour the sauce and stir until is thick and shiny.
  • Cut into slices the last orange and use it as a base for the chicken. Put the chicken thighs with the skin facing down. Glaze with a brush and take to the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken and glaze the skin again . Take to the oven again for 15 minutes into broil mode. This way you'll get a crispy and golden skin.

Notes

You can leave the chicken thighs marinate overnight, is not necessary, but it will give a stronger citrus flavour to the chicken.
