Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a food processor, combine fresh cranberries, brown sugar, olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, orange juice, zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag, pour the marinade over chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly.
- Bake Chicken: Transfer marinated chicken to the baking pan, pour any remaining marinade over, and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked.
- Broil for Crispiness: Brush chicken skin with a mixture of honey and olive oil, then broil for 2-3 minutes until skin is crispy.
- Serve and Garnish: Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes, then garnish with orange zest and cranberries before serving.

Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients and follow marination time closely. Ensure internal temperature of chicken reaches 155°F for juiciness.
