Not only is this one epic for meal prep, but I made it to show you how food can directly support your testosterone goals. We’re talking real ingredients that fuel performance — orange for vitamin C, ginger for inflammation, quality protein from chicken thighs, and a glaze that hits sweet, savory, and functional. It’s not just about flavor — it’s about helping your body work better. If you care about energy, recovery, and hormones, this is a dish built for you.

Ingredients
Juice of 2 oranges (~½ cup)
Zest of 1 orange
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp olive oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Salt + pepper
1 Tbsp Butter
Method
-
Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or ziplock. Add chicken thighs, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for max flavor).
-
Prehead the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment or foil.
-
Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the liquid for later- we are going to make an epic sauce!). Pat chicken lightly dry, season with salt and pepper, and place skin-side up on the tray.
-
Roast for 25-30minutes, or until skin is crispy and internal temp reaches 75°C / 165°F.
-
While the chicken bakes, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, or until it reduces to half the content. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 tbsp of butter to finish the glaze — this gives it a rich, glossy texture that you see in the video
-
Plate up the chicken and spoon over the warm orange glaze over the top. Finish with fresh herbs, sesame seeds, or chili flakes if desired.
