I love this dish! It has so many different spices that I don’t use everyday. It has a little kick, but it’s very subtle and the orange juice and pomegranates add some sweetness.
- Chicken:
- 2 lbs bone-in/skin-on Chicken Thighs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon All Spice
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Clove
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of Saffron
- 1/2 cup Orange Juice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Granish:
- 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds
- 1 large Orange; sliced
- Mint Leaves for garnish
- Place the chicken in a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over top. Mix all of the spices in a small bowl and add it to the chicken. Pour in the orange juice and tossto coat. Cover and chill for 3 hours to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Add chicken to a large baking dish and top with orange slices and half of the Pomegranate seeds. Cover and bake for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Top with the remaining Pomegranate seeds and mint leaves.
