chicken with orange marmalade recipe - Glossy orange marmalade chicken in a skillet with green onions

Quick Sticky Chicken with Orange Marmalade

A deliciously sweet and savory chicken with orange marmalade recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to make. Perfect for busy weeknights.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl to create the base for the chicken with orange marmalade recipe glaze.
Step 4: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and pour the marmalade mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
Step 5: Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, spooning it over the chicken frequently, until the glaze has thickened and is coating the meat evenly. Garnish with green onions and serve.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Ensure the pan isn’t too hot when adding the marmalade to prevent burning.
