Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup orange marmalade
  • 1 medium red onion
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb chicken thighs into 2-inch pieces. In a shallow bowl, beat the 1 egg. Place the 0.5 cup flour in another shallow bowl. Dip each piece in egg, then coat in flour, shaking off excess.

  2. 2

    Heat the 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add chicken pieces in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    While chicken cooks, thinly slice the 1 red onion. In a small bowl, combine the sliced onion with 2 tbsp of the orange marmalade (reserve the rest for sauce). Set aside to marinate.

  4. 4

    In another small bowl, mix the remaining orange marmalade with 2 tbsp water and a pinch of salt to make the dipping sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve the fried chicken hot with the dipping sauce and red onion relish on the side, with lemon wedges if desired.
