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
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
½ teaspoon All Spice
¼ teaspoon Ground Clove
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
Pinch of Saffron
½ cup Orange Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
—
Garnish:
½ 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.
- Enjoy!
