Imagine succulent chicken thighs, marinated in a mixture of savory soy sauce, exotic five-spice powder, and a hint of cooking wine, coming together to create a melody of flavors that dance on your palate. The star of this recipe, however, is the glaze – a vibrant concoction of fresh orange juice and zest, coupled with the subtle warmth of ginger and garlic, all brought together with a hint of brown sugar for that perfect balance of sweetness.
