Easy and delicious. The orange and fennel are fantastic together!
Mine came out too bitter. I’m not sure why. Sounded so good. Maybe my oranges were too big making the amount of zest too much.
Very easy and very delicious!!
Scrumptious!
Easy, very tasty and impressive.
Easy, delicious and impressive. Flavor is a treat for the tastebuds! Just finished the leftovers cold for breakfast and it was still as tasty as when it first came out of the oven. Thank you!
I signed in , went to the roasted orange chicken thighs with fennel and artichoke. It listed the ingredients, which I acquired. So now I go to the recipe to fix dinner, and while the ingredients and photos are open, the cooking instructions are blocked by a screen asking me to sign in, which I already did. But I signed in again and still the instructions are locked. So I’ll have to fix something else for dinner.
