Are you a fan of orange chicken? Then you’ll love this easy pan-fried chicken thighs recipe. The recipe calls for the chicken to be marinated, but you can totally skip that if you’re pressed for time. The sauce reduces as it cooks and creates a deliciously sticky orange coating that will have you licking your fingers.

I love cooking with chicken thighs. They deliver moist, juicy results every time. You’ll love the deliciousness of that dark meat. This recipe is especially good for boneless skinless chicken thighs. I often find that I need a little extra trimming on store bought boneless skinless chicken thighs. I swear they leave some skin and fat behind just to add weight and price. You may find that you need to do the same.
