Are your children’s friends coming over after work and you’re pressed for time to cook? Marinate the chicken in the morning (the flavors will get better the longer it sits), so all you have to do it cook the chicken and finish the sauce when you get home.
Serves: 4
In a large bowl, add chicken, oil, chili flakes, garlic, and orange zest. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to 8.
In a large sauté pan on medium-high heat, add 1–2 tablespoons oil. Season chicken with salt. When pan is hot, add chicken skin-side down. Do not crowd pan or chicken skin will not brown and crisp. Place another sauté pan on top of chicken to act as a weight. Sauté chicken for 5 minutes until it is golden brown. Flip chicken, sauté for an additional 3 minutes, then add orange juice. Simmer for 6–7 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken and add honey. Bring to a boil and cook for 3–4 minutes, until sauce has thickened and reduced. Coat chicken with sauce and serve.
