Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather your ingredients.

Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice and zest, honey, olive oil, thyme, and red pepper flakes until smooth.

Place seasoned chicken in a roasting pan and pour the glaze over, ensuring even coating. Roast for 30 minutes, basting halfway.

Check the internal temperature at 30 minutes; it should be 165°F (74°C). If not done, roast for another 5-10 minutes.

Let the chicken rest under foil for a few minutes before serving with remaining glaze.
