Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken thighs and set aside.
Step 2
Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in tomatoes, orange juice, orange liqueur, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Return chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes.
