Tips:

  • Be sure to zest the citrus fruits before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.

  • Chicken thighs are a great choice for this recipe because they are juicy and flavorful.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
