HOW TO MAKE TANGERINE GARLIC GLAZE To make tangerine garlic marinade, mix together honey, extra-virgin olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper. You could make it spicy by adding a bit of chili powder. If you have time you could marinate the chicken for even an hour before baking it. Be sure to not marinate longer than an hour as the acid in the vinegar could make the meat not as tender if it is sitting in it for a long time.
Are Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breasts best for tangerine garlic chicken? We prefer chicken thighs for this recipe. But feel free to use chicken breasts just keeping in mind that they would be done in about 18-20 minutes. What's the difference between orange chicken and tangerine chicken? Tangerine chicken is generally more savory than sweet, while orange chicken boasts a sweeter flavor profile due to its namesake ingredient. The spicy-sweet dish gained popularity in the United States after being introduced by Chinese restaurants hoping to cater to American palates.
