Garlic-Ginger Chicken

I found this easy garlic-ginger chicken thighs recipe on Food Network that sounded really simple and tasty. The chicken had a wonderful, rich garlic-ginger flavor and was so tender and juicy. My whole family enjoyed this easy Asian chicken thigh recipe, and we thought it paired well with carrot-ginger rice and sesame green beans.

Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs

Ingredients:

• 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of any fat
• ¼ red onion, sliced
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp of fresh ginger, peeled & minced
• ¼ cup of soy sauce
• ⅓ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice (I used 2 oranges)
• Zest of 1 orange
• Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil

How to Make Garlic-Ginger Chicken

Combine the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste in a large zip-lock bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 1-24 hours.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken thighs, and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Flip over and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Set the meat on a platter to let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
