instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a bowl, mix together orange juice, mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This is your marinade.

    3

    Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes while you prep the beans.

    4

    For the baked beans, chop onion and jalapeño.

    5

    In a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    6

    Add the jalapeño and sauté for another 2 minutes.

    7

    Pour in the canned baked beans, and stir. Let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    8

    While the beans are simmering, bake the marinated chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked and the juices run clear.

    9

    Serve the chicken thighs hot, drizzled with the marinade, alongside a generous helping of spicy baked beans.
