Creating Sweet and Savory Roasted Orange Chicken is simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine orange juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure your oven is fully heated to ensure even cooking!

3. Prep the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, wash and cut your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Make sure there’s enough space between each piece.

6. Add Vegetables: Scatter the assorted vegetables around the chicken, allowing them to soak up the marinade as they cook. You can drizzle a little olive oil on the veggies for extra flavor.

7. Bake the Dish: Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The skin should be golden and crispy.

8. Baste for Extra Flavor: Optional: halfway through the cooking process, you can baste the chicken with the pan juices to enhance the flavor further.

9. Rest Before Serving: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for five minutes. This helps retain juiciness.

10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken and vegetables before serving to elevate the presentation.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create a dish that is truly remarkable, bursting with flavor and fragrance that fills your kitchen.
