Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil or vegetable oil)
- 1/3 cup pepper jelly
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
Step 2: Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
-
Step 3: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the chicken thighs, skin side DOWN, and cook until brown (about 6 minutes).
-
Step 4: In a small sauce pan over low heat, combine the jelly, soy sauce, turmeric, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk well until the mixture is dissolved. (Can also do this in the microwave... just be careful as it gets hot fast!)
-
Step 5: Carefully remove the chicken thighs from the pan, then pour out any excess oil. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, skin side UP. Brush the chicken with the jelly mixture.
-
Step 6: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F.
-
Step 7: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes or so before serving.
