How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Brown the chicken until the skin is a rich golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same saucepan, finely chop and sauté the onion and garlic until they are soft and lightly golden, releasing their sweet aroma.
4. Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine and orange juice, stirring to lift the caramelized bits from the bottom.
5. Return the chicken thighs to the saucepan, nestling them among the aromatics, and add the sprig of fresh thyme.
6. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes, allowing the chicken to tenderize and the flavors to meld beautifully.
7. Uncover and continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, letting the sauce reduce to a luscious, concentrated glaze.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.
9. Serve hot, accompanied by a side of fluffy white rice, couscous, or creamy mashed potatoes.
