These citrus-spiced chicken thighs are one of those easy recipes that take just a few minutes to get going in the morning and make dinner so much easier later in the day. Toss everything together for the marinade before you leave for work, then let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator all day. When you get home, all you need to do is cook the chicken and toss together a simple salad and roasted vegetable for an easy, flavorful weeknight meal. The citrus and warming spices infuse the chicken with so much flavor as it marinates, while helping to keep it tender and juicy.
