How Bloggers Cooked BA's Citrus-Marinated Chicken Thighs
You've heard us praise chicken thighs before. They're relatively cheap, they're hard to ruin, and they stand up well to bold flavors, like the ones in the citrus marinade from our August issue. Soy sauce, garlic, cilantro, scallion, and plenty of orange and lime juice make for quite an assertive sauce, but pair it with perfectly broiled thighs and you've got a winning dish. Bloggers of the universe agree—see how they cooked up this dish in their kitchens.

"The chicken is just so moist and full of flavor from the citrus marinade and I love how crispy the skin gets from cooking under the broiler. This is going to be one of my new go-to recipes for chicken...and the best part is that it can be made year round because it’s cooked under the broiler...This chicken is total comfort cooking anytime of year."

"The marinade is citrus heaven. It's more of a puree, and you pour half on for the marinade, and half for serving. That way you get plenty of the citrus zest before, during, and after broiling the babies in the oven for a while. The inside was completely moist and practically dripped with flavor. I think sneaking in a little soy sauce helps out with the depth as well. The outside skin after broiling was crispy, and tasted like what I can only describe as crispy chicken bacon. Didn't think it was possible, but hey, it happened."

"We eat lots of chicken at our house so I am always looking for different ways to prepare it. This recipe was in the August issue of bon appetit and it is fantastic...Great for a summer meal on the deck or patio."

5/7Feeding My Enthusiasms
"In this recipe the fairly forward flavors of cilantro, garlic, scallions, citrus and soy join up in a marinade for chicken thighs that is full of zestiness but not heat. I served it with steamed rice and steamed broccoli. The marinade went pretty well with those, too. There is an Asian sensibility to the marinade that I really enjoyed. The flavorful crispy skin was a nice bite of luxury, too."
