Instructions

Combine the orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, honey, rosemary and garlic in a bowl or container so everything is well combined. Add a little salt and pepper, to taste. (Alternatively, mix in the baking dish you will use to bake the chicken in.)
Add the chicken to the marinade and toss so that it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for around 2 hours to marinade.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour over the extra marinade. Bake for around 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

I used boneless thighs, in part for speed, but you can also use bone-in thighs for this which can turn out even juicier. They will need to cook for longer, though - nearer 45 minutes to cook through fully. You will also need a little more quantity-wise, nearer 2lb/900g. Chicken breasts can also work, but I don't find them quite as juicy. Cooking time will be similar to boneless thighs, but will depend on the thickness etc.
