Orange Bbq Chicken Thighs Recipes

GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN THIGHS

This orangey chicken was the first meal I served my future husband. I chose it because it's easy, but he thought it was amazing and gobbled it up. We were married three months later, so I guess it worked. -Leah Harvath, Heber City, Utah
