Preguntas y respuestas

Can I prepare this recipe in a frying pan instead of in the oven?

Yes, you can cook the chicken thighs in a skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken first and then cook it in the sauce.

How can I make the chicken more intensely flavored?

You can marinate the chicken in the spice mixture and orange juice for at least an hour before cooking.

Is it necessary to turn the chicken thighs halfway through cooking?

No, but turning the chicken thighs halfway through cooking helps them brown evenly on both sides.

How can I make the orange sauce thicker?

You can reduce the sauce by simmering it in a saucepan after removing the chicken from the oven or add a small amount of cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken it.

How can I make sure the chicken is cooked through?

Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F). If you don't have a thermometer, you can cut a thigh to check that the juices run clear and the meat is not pink.
