orange marmalade

🥗Healthier: apricot preserves

💰Cheaper: generic fruit preserves

Apricot preserves provide a similar sweetness and flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: coconut aminos

💰Cheaper: generic soy sauce

Coconut aminos are lower in sodium and a soy-free alternative.

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken pieces

Chicken breast is leaner, while bone-in pieces can be more economical.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add the olive oil, coating them thoroughly.

Arrange the chicken thighs on a parchment lined sheet pan.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, combine the orange marmalade, orange juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and dried tarragon. Whisk to combine.

Generously brush the chicken with the marmalade mixture.

Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, take the chicken out of the oven and brush it again with the marmalade mixture.

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Garnish the chicken with chopped parsley and a bit of orange, if desired.
