Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- 3
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Season both sides with salt. Cook the chicken in the skillet for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine the remaining marinade (from the bag or dish) with cornstarch and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir in the orange zest.

Glaze the Chicken
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the orange glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to coat the chicken and heat through.

Serve the Dish
Remove the chicken from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the chicken and serve immediately.
