How To Make Marinated Chicken Thighs

Step 1: Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, orange juice, and orange zest in a medium or large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.

Step 2: Place the chicken thighs in a gallon-size baggie and pour half of the marinade on top. Seal the bag tightly while removing any excess air. Turn the bag several times to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or place in the refrigerator for one hour to overnight. Turn the bag occasionally while marinating to evenly distribute flavors. Reserve an unused portion of the marinade for later use.

Step 3: To prepare, place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven temperature to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat and set aside.

Step 4: Remove chicken from marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet and generously season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Discard the bag and the remaining marinade inside. 

Step 5: Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the reserved, unused marinade and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken thighs in a single layer without overcrowding.

Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven to roast until the chicken is fully cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
