Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, orange juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Massage the marinade into the meat.
- Let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer the chicken thighs to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Consider pairing with Chipotle Corn Salsa for a complete meal. Allowing chicken to marinate overnight enhances flavors significantly.
