In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, grated orange zest, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and rosemary.
Heat everything over medium heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Then remove the glaze from the heat and set aside.
Fry the chicken:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
Fry the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Turn the oven to 180 °C (fan oven) and place the chicken thighs in an ovenproof dish. Roast them in the oven for a further 15-20 minutes until they are cooked through and have reached a core temperature of 75 °C.
Glaze:
While the chicken thighs are in the oven, brush them with the honey-orange glaze every 5 minutes. This ensures a delicious caramelized crust.
Serve:
Once the chicken thighs are ready, serve them with a fresh salad, couscous or roasted vegetables. Garnish with some fresh rosemary and a slice of orange for the finishing touch.
Tip:
If you want to flavor the chicken thighs even more intensely, you can put them under the grill for 5 minutes after roasting to further caramelize the glaze and get an even crispier surface.
