This is another lovely recipe from my SIL Trish, thanks Trishy! Sorry it took so l o n g to getting around and making this but better late than never as they say. When I make this again though, I will double the amount of Dijon mustard from one tablespoon to two as I couldn’t quite taste it and think it will enhance the citrus flavours even more.
Marmalade Chicken
Ingredients
6 to 8 chicken thighs
½ cup marmalade
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1tbsp olive oil
½ inch piece ginger grated
1 garlic clove crushed
Juice & zest of 1 orange
Salt & black pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Place the chicken pieces in a large oven proof dish.
- Combine all the ingredients and pour over the chicken.
- Bake for 45 – 60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.
- If the sauce is still runny, reduce in a pan and pour over the chicken before serving.

That’s a great recipe for marinated chicken. I’m always looking for inspiration when it comes to preparing chicken to grill or BBQ. And we’re about to come into BBQ season so your recipe is very timely. Love how it also has a little bit of ginger xx

Can’t believe I didn’t think about bbq’ing these! What a brilliant idea Charlie. Will have to rectify that as soon as possible. have a lovely afternoon.

I make a similar dish using apricot jam. Must try using marmalade, your dish is so temptingly delicious looking.

Ooh Norma, I will definitely try the apricot jam next with this, thanks for the idea. Have a lovely day.

Lovely recipe. Neither my wife or I use marmalade on toast etc… but I bought a jar quite a while ago with a view to using it as you did (although I was thinking something vaguely Asian). It’s about time I actually got around to doing something with it, I guess
By: sybaritica on August 23, 2012

Thanks John. I look forward to you Asian infused recipe. No pressure but you need to get used to your new kitchen so this might be a good time to give it a try. Have a super day.

This is “spot on” the sort of chicken dish I love. Sticky and sweet but you’ve added the dijon for some added flavor!! I will have to try this one on the fam! xx

2 posts in one day! YAY!
THis sounds great, Mandy. WIth all of the jam I’ve been making of late, I’ve been wondering about using some as a glaze. If I’m half as successful as your dish, I’ll be very happy. Thanks and have a good week!

To be honest, it was a bit of a blupse to have both posts go off on one day but no matter as it has made you happy.

Hmmm, I may just have to try this one with the ginger preserves I keep on hand and add a bit more citrus to it . . . Sounds spectacular, and I do love orange marmalade too, so then it could just be the right excuse for me to jam-shop. So many choices, so little time!

Ginger preserve, now that sounds fantastic! I would love to hear how you enjoy it and obviously how you amend the recipe too.

One question, the flavor of marmalade could be anything?
By: Bluejellybeans on August 24, 2012
at 01:46
Definitely my kind of cooking Giovanna, quick and easy and hopefully always with a tasty result. You could most definitely use any marmalade and even a mixture if you like. Have a super day.
By: thecompletecookbook on August 24, 2012

Great supereasy recipe I have to try soonest – love the marmalade idea as that would add a touch of interesting ‘bitterness’ – with my love of depth of flavour, would probably also have a ‘heavy’ spoon with the mustard!
By: Eha on August 24, 2012

Hi Eha, thanks for stopping by. The mustard must definitely feature more in this lovely recipe. Enjoy! Have a super weekend.
