Citrus Marinated Chicken

Ingredients:

6 pieces of chicken (I like to use organic skinless and boneless chicken thighs or skinless chicken legs)

 Marinade Ingredients:

•  3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 Tbs. grated orange peel
• 2 Tbs. grated lemon peel
• 2 Tbs. grated fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbs fresh thyme leaves
• 3 Tbs. sweet chili sauce
• 3 Tbs. Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• ¼ cup organic brown sugar or date sugar
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients of the marinade and add the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours (you can also leave overnight).
2. Place the marinated chicken pieces in a roasting pan and pour the citrus marinade on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Keep drizzling the sauce over the chicken while cooking.
