Ingredients

Chicken Thighs

  • 6-8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper

Orange Parsley Sauce

  • 1 bunch of parsley some stems ok
  • 1/2 cup roasted unsalted pecans
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Zest from 1 orange
  • Juice from 1 orange about ⅓ cup
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place all the orange parsley sauce ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Will keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week.
  • Preheat your oven to 425ºF. 
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Set in the wire rack
  • Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt + pepper, then place on the wire rack over the rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the chicken has an internal temperature of at least 165ºF. Rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken thighs warm, topped with the orange parsley sauce. I love serving mine with roasted broccoli and roasted radishes.
  • Leftovers will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Notes

Chicken: I get my organic, hormone + antibiotic free chicken from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend! If you don't want to use thighs, any cut of chicken will work, could also use pork chops or steak. Any protein!
Nuts + Nut Free: I love using pecans, but you could use any other nut or seed. Pistachios, almonds, sunflower seeds (for nut free!), walnuts, pinenuts (for nut free!) would all be great swap outs. Same quantity.
