Cooking Tools Required
Cutting board, Measuring cups and spoons, Mixing bowls, Saute pan, Sharp knifes, Skillet, Tongs, Top Stove, WhiskIngredients
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 10 chicken thighs with skin and bone
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the orange sauce:
- ¾ cup orange juice fresh, squeezed from 3 large oranges
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- 4 clove garlic minced
- 3 teaspoon arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Set 2 large frying pans (for 10 servings) over medium-high heat and when hot add 1 tablespoon of the oil to each pan. Carefully add 5 pieces of chicken, skin side down to each pan. Once the chicken is nicely brown, about 4 minutes per side, remove the pan from heat.
- To make the orange sauce, whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Divide the sauce evenly among the pan(s) with the chicken, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, cover and cook chicken for an additional 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time. If the sauce is too watery, add 1 more teaspoon of arrowroot or as needed to make it thicker.
- Remove lid and allow sauce to simmer for a thicker consistency if desired.
Reheating/Serving Instructions
Heat in microwave on full power until heated through.
