Introduction
This is an authentic French-style dish you can easily make at home, using simple ingredients like chicken thighs, onions, and orange juice, finished with the richness of butter. The sweetness and acidity of the orange pair perfectly with the savory flavor of the chicken.
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt, and if available, sprinkle coriander on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a frying pan and start searing the chicken thighs meat-side down to prevent the skin from shrinking.
Step 3
Add thyme if available to infuse flavor, then flip and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown; remove from the pan.
Step 4
In the same pan, stir-fry the minced onion with a pinch of salt until softened, then return the chicken to the pan.
Step 5
Add orange juice (150–200ml), cover, and steam-simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes.

Important Notes
💡 When searing the chicken thighs, start by cooking the meat side first to prevent the skin from shrinking, then sear the skin side until crispy.
🌿 Using herbs (thyme and coriander) adds a refreshing aromatic accent to the sweet and tart orange flavor, creating a more authentic French taste.
✨ When finishing the sauce, add cold butter to the reduced juice and whisk vigorously to emulsify it into a smooth, silky texture.
