Orange Chicken Thighs with Beets and Sweets
My mom is the one who told me to ask the butcher for boneless skinless dark meat chicken cutlets. She may not know how or even care to cook, but she sure has great taste in food. I love her for this discovery. Super common in Israel, most butchers stateside now carry this staple. For the Beets and Sweets you can add a 1/2 tsp of cumin or more to taste if you are not making this Kosher for Passover

Ingredients
For the chicken
- 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
- 1 (28-ounce) jar Gold's Duck Sauce
- 3 cups orange juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
For the beets and sweets
- 2 large golden beets, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 large red beets, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1½ pounds baby sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Cilantro, optional for garnish
Directions
Place chicken thighs in a large deep sauté or sauce pan. In a medium bowl, combine duck sauce, orange juice, oil, and salt and stir well. Pour over chicken and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the beets and sweets. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss beets and sweet potatoes in olive oil, cinnamon, and salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender.

Oh gosh! I do use duck sauce with chicken; such a good all-purpose when you’re in a hurry thing to cook. And I also do combine beets and sweets; a real natural. So good, breasts for me but same thing.
The recipe lists cinnamon and then instructs to toss with cumin, which one is it? or do we use both? great recipe for Pesach too.
good catch will fix it should be cinnamon but you can ADD a 1/2 tsp or more of cumin if you are not making this Kosher for Passover
is it cumin or cinnamon? you list one and instruct with the other. Great Pesach recipe too.
WOWZER!!! a JAR of duck sauce? 3 CUPS of orange juice? that’s tacking on like 4000 additional calories to that meal.. yikes.. I want to feed and nourish my family, not kill them!!
