I marinated the chicken overnight. Because the chix thighs were boneless, I only had to cook for 5 min per side. The sauce was devine, and worked well with the coconut jasmin rice with pineapple and for a veggie I had cardomom spiced zucchini. What a nice meal. I will be making this quite often.
Citrus-Glazed Chicken Thighs
Besides being juicy, chicken thighs cook quickly and come with built-in portion control: Two two-ounce chicken thighs are the appropriate serving of meat. The sweet-tangy sauce is easy to make and drizzles nicely over rice or couscous.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 thighs and 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)
