Pop this one-dish wonder in the oven for Sunday lunch and you'll be able to relax while it becomes infused with a delicious citrus flavour. I'd probably whisk the juice mixture together before adding it to the chicken, just to make sure the honey is well incorporated. Prep time is 15 mins plus 1 hour marinating time. Use 5 tablespoons to measure 80ml. Source: Australian Good Taste magazine September 2006
Ingredients:
1 1/4 kg chicken thigh fillets
80 ml fresh orange juice
80 ml honey
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 orange, thinly sliced
fresh chives, finely chopped, to serve
Directions:
1. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish.
2. Add the orange juice, honey, oil, garlic, coriander, cumin and turmeric and gently toss until combined.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate.
4. Preheat oven to 180°C
5. Place the sliced orange over the top of the chicken.
