I had an orange. I had a lemon. I had a shallot. This is what I came up with.

This is a bad name for this, but I got nothin’. It’s not at all sour as the name would imply. There isn’t even any orange or lemon juice in this, you’ll be surprised how the zest itself does all the work.

ingredients:
6 chicken thighs
Zest of one lemon
Zest of one orange
2-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallots, minced
Salt
Pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prep a baking dish by greasing it or using non-stick foil.

In a small bowl, stir together the lemon zest, orange zest, olive oil, soy sauce, honey and garlic. (I don’t like to put the shallots in with the marinating stuff cause I think it’s a little overpowering.)

Pu the chicken in a large freezer bag, along with the citrus sauce. I like to lay this in a pan, just in case the bag leaks. No one wants raw chicken juice all over your nice clean fridge. Marinate in the fridge for about 2 hours+.

Turn out the chicken into a large baking dish, and add in the shallots. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake for 15 minutes, turn over and bake for another 20.

I promise you this is EASY and incredibly flavorful. I serve it with crispy potatoes and the kids love it!
