For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the marmalade-mustard sauce for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator before baking. Adjust the amount of bourbon to your preference. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with chicken broth or apple juice. Serve over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed green beans or roasted asparagus complements the dish beautifully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepSeason the chicken thighs generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. (2 minutes)
03
StepHeat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)
04
StepCarefully brown the chicken thighs on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, to develop a rich color and flavor. Transfer the browned chicken thighs to an 8-inch square baking dish. (6 minutes)
05
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, bourbon, Dijon mustard, diced onion, and minced garlic until well combined. (3 minutes)
06
StepPour the marmalade-mustard sauce into the same skillet used for browning the chicken. Cook and whisk over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the bourbon to cook off and the sauce to thicken slightly. (3 minutes)
07
StepPour the luscious marmalade-mustard sauce evenly over the chicken thighs in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are no longer pink and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)
09
StepRemove from the oven and let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. (5 minutes)
