Baked Chicken Thighs with Garlic and Orange

I must add flavor to chicken.  All the doctors and diet authorities say this everyday, but to me chicken is so boring.  So add lots of fresh ingredients before and after cooking and I will be happy.  I do not often remember to buy prepared marinades but a friend brought me a few bottles last week for a special treat and yes, it was.
