Instructions
toasted rosemary orzo
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the orzo and cook for a few minutes, stirring often, so the orzo toasts and gets golden. Stir in the garlic and half of the rosemary.
- Pour in the stock along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the stock to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice so the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom, until the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and remaining rosemary. Serve!
chicken thighs
- Preheat the broiler in your oven to high. Make sure there is an oven rack directly beneath it.
- Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet. Season the chicken all over liberally with salt and pepper. Season all over with the smoked paprika and garlic powder.
- Place under the broiler and broil for 6 minutes. Remove and flip the chicken oven. Broil for 6 minutes more. While the chicken is broiling, whisk together the hot honey and vinegar.
- Remove the chicken again and brush it with the honey mixture. Return to the oven and broil for 1 minute. Remove and flip the chicken thighs, brushing the other side with the honey mixture. Broil again for 1 minute. Repeat once or twice more until you get the desired charred topping.
- Serve the chicken thighs with the orzo!
