Ingredients
- 6 Chicken Thighs
- 4 oranges (Juice only 8.82 oz | 250 g)
- 1 tsp (2 g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (2 g) ground cardamom
- 1/8 tsp (0.25 g) ground cloves
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) olive oil
- Sel Gris Mill (Season to Taste)
Instructions
- Place your Square Mold on the top of your medium perforated baking sheet. Set aside.
CHICKEN PREPARATION
- Juice your oranges until you get 8.82 oz | 250 g into your sauce pan. Add all the spices (cinnamon, cardamom and clove) and the apple cider vinegar. Bring it to a boil, then down to low heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Pass the syrup through the sift as the spices do not breakdown. Set aside the liquid and brush the rub onto your chicken thighs.
- Transfer your chicken thighs to your Square Mold. Drizzle the olive oil and season with salt. Now you can either cover and refrigerate for one hour (this will allow the chicken to develop the aromas from the spices). Or roast right away.
ROAST!
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
- Roast for 20 minutes or more depending on the thickness of your chicken at 400F/200C. Use the Digital Thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through at 165°F/75C.
- Once your Roasted Orange Chicken with Spices is out of the oven, serve right away with rice, vegetables and a drizzle of orange syrup on top. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
