Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk together until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs directly to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs onto a rimmed baking sheet and pour the remaining marinade over the top.

- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top before serving.
Notes
For richer flavors, consider marinating the chicken a few hours or a day in advance. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
