How to Make Chicken Thighs In Asian Tangerine Marinade

  1. Zest 2 tangerines, reserving zest. Juice the tangerines and measure out 1/2 cup of juice.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tangerine juice and zest, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  4. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
  5. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease an oblong baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and arrange them skin-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken thighs.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through baking.
  9. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds over the chicken thighs during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken thighs and serve immediately with rice and your favorite vegetables.
