Ingredients

1/2 cup orange marmalade

2 teaspoons orange zest plus 2 tablespoons orange juice 

2 teaspoons orange liqueur 

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 

4 cups broccoli florets (about 2 pounds) 

4 shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise 

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Garnish:

2 oranges, grated and supremed (white pith cut away and segments cut free from their membranes)

Directions

Special equipment:
nonstick foil
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the marmalade, orange zest and juice, orange liqueur, vinegar, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Pull the side flaps of overhanging skin taut underneath the chicken on each side to make the thighs into nice, tight packages. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up in a single layer in the center of the lined baking sheet.
  4. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the orange sauce over each piece of chicken. Roast for 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli and shallots together in a medium bowl with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon another tablespoon of the sauce over the top of the chicken. Arrange the broccoli and shallots around the chicken on the baking sheet. Continue to toast until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli and shallots are soft and caramelized, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  7. Garnish with the orange segments and zest.

Just made this. Simple and very tasty. I was not a fan of marmalade but the sauce is delicious. This is making it into family rotation.
