Citrus Glazed Chicken Thigh

I was really frustrated about the limited choices of vegetables we have over here. Tonight, when I asked OCT what vege he would like for dinner, he said brocolli.. And I was thinking, oh, not again!!!

After rummaging the contents of fridge, I decided to cook celery + mushroom for a change, and used the leftover egg white to cook tomato omelet. The main dish of the night was citrus glazed chicken thigh. A recipe I had set my mind to try awhile ago.

I must said that it lived up to it's name, as the citrus taste was very prominent. I preferred the plain old salt+ sugar marinade combination over this new recipe. But if you are in the mood for something sweet & tangy, you can give this a try. I must add that the chicken thighs were smooth and juicy nonetheless.
