Season chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear chicken until deeply golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, simmer orange juice, zest, honey, soy sauce, garlic, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar for 3–5 minutes.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry until thick and glossy.
Return chicken to the pan, tossing until completely coated and cooked through.
Add a few fresh orange wedges to the pan and simmer for 1 more minute.
Toss warm basmati rice with butter, fresh lime juice, cilantro, garlic powder, and salt.
Serve alongside the sticky orange chicken and garnish with extra cilantro!
