Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
4 bone-in chicken thighs
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 cups orange juice ( no pulp)
1/4 cup brandy-based orange liqueur (such as grand marnier) (optional)
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken thighs and set aside.
Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in tomatoes, orange juice, orange liqueur, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined.
Return chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes.
