Recipe
Orange-glazed chicken thighs
Chicken thighs with a light orange-thyme glaze, celeriac mash and spinach.
Ingredients
- Chicken thighs — 7¾ oz (2, skin on)
- Orange — 4½ oz (juice of 1)
- Thyme
- Celeriac — 2½ oz (peeled)
- Full-fat coconut milk — 2 Tbsp
- Spinach — 2 cups
- Garlic-infused olive oil — 1 Tbsp
- Sea salt & pepper
Method
- Boil the celeriac until very soft, ~15 minutes; mash with the coconut milk and salt.
- Brown the seasoned chicken skin-side down in the oil 5–6 minutes, then cook through (skin-up, lid on) 10–12 minutes to 175°F (79°C); set aside.
- Add the orange juice and thyme to the pan and simmer 2–3 minutes to a light glaze.
- Wilt the spinach. Spoon the glaze over the chicken; serve with mash and spinach.
Notes
Make the glaze right in the chicken's pan — the rendered fat + browned bits + orange juice reduce to a syrup with no added sugar.
