Herb-Roasted Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
4 RedBird Chicken Breasts or Thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Cranberry-Orange Glaze
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
½ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed, if possible)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp orange zest
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Method
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken: Place the RedBird Chicken Breasts on a baking sheet. Rub with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
Roast the Chicken: Roast the Chicken for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown.
Make the Cranberry-Orange Glaze: While the Chicken is roasting, add cranberries, orange juice, honey, orange zest, and cinnamon to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries break down and the sauce thickens (about 10-15 minutes).
Glaze and Serve: Once the Chicken is done, drizzle the cranberry-orange glaze over each piece and serve warm. Garnish with extra rosemary and orange zest, if desired.
