Slow-Roasted Orange Chicken Thighs with White Wine

Slow-Roasted Orange Chicken Thighs with White Wine

This is a low-effort, high-reward situation. It smells expensive, but it isn’t.

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 oranges (1 sliced, 1 juiced)
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt + pepper
  • Fresh parsley for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. In a large baking dish, garlic, and orange slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly.
  3. Nestle chicken thighs on top, skin side up. Season well.
  4. In a small bowl, mix orange juice, white wine, and Dijon. Pour around (not over) the chicken so the skin stays crispable.
  5. Roast for 1.5- 2ish hours, until the chicken is tender and the edges are deeply caramelized.
  6. For the last 5-10 minutes, broil to crisp the skin.
  7. Finish with chopped parsley and maybe one last squeezie of orange.
