| Citrus Marinated Chicken Thighs |
You may have noticed an upswing of meat recipes on the blog
recently. While Ryan and I are both perfectly content eating meatless dinners
several days a week, I think I’ve subconsciously been craving meatier sources
of protein since I’ve been pregnant.
This citrus marinated chicken is by far one of the best
things to come off of our grill this summer! I contacted both my mom and my
grandma the night we had it, insisting they make it soon. Bon Appetit’s
original recipe calls for broiling the chicken, but we threw it on the grill
and I suggest you go that same route if you’re able. The chicken only needs to
marinate for twenty minutes (and up to two hours), but if you’re really tight
on time, make the marinade ahead of time and stick the chicken in it when you
get home from work.
The citrus zests and juices in the marinade along with the
soy sauce produce the most tender, flavorful chicken. We mmm-ed our way through
every bite, and I may or may not have wanted to lick the excess juices right
from my plate. What more of an endorsement do you need? Make this!
