how to make tangerine garlic glaze
To make tangerine garlic marinade, mix together honey, extra-virgin olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper. You could make it spicy by adding a bit of chili powder. If you have time you could marinate the chicken for even an hour before baking it. Be sure to not marinate longer than an hour as the acid in the vinegar could make the meat not as tender if it is sitting in it for a long time.
But don't forget the garlic because it really makes the dish and it smells incredible while it's roasting. And what about on the side? With this chicken we had a very simple jasmine rice and a super delicious cauliflower salad. I hope to share that with you sometime next week. I add just a little bit of salt to the chicken. The soy and teriyaki add enough, in my opinion. But you could always use your judgement and add more if you prefer it a little more salty.
I knew my kids would have zero patience while I took a photo of this dish. I took a few when I added the tangerines and everyone was yelling at me to hurry up because they were hungry. See, that's why I don't usually post savory recipes. Those of you that do, I want to know your secret and how you keep your customers calm while they're waiting for you. I sometimes add a little water to the sauce when I baste the chicken if it seems it's getting too dry. My kids like to dip their bread in the sauce so there always has to be a little extra. The last photo was when it was done and it was very quick and there was more screaming, "Mom, hurry up!". So here you go...a really delicious chicken recipe that is no fuss.
are chicken thighs or chicken breasts best for tangerine garlic chicken?
We prefer chicken thighs for this recipe. But feel free to use chicken breasts just keeping in mind that they would be done in about 18-20 minutes.
