- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

- Place the chicken thighs into a large resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over the chicken; seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, reserving the remaining marinade.

- Remove from the oven and let it rest before slicing and serving.
Notes
