Rinse chicken and dry thoroughly. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear chicken skin side down for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat combine orange marmalade, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to sheet pan skin side up and brush citrus glaze all over. Roast for 20 minutes.
