Japanese Inspired Citrus Chicken
An incredibly simple recipe that really packs a punch. This can be cooked in multiple ways. I have tested it in the pressure cooker, the slow cooker and the oven using chicken thighs with the skin off and bone out. The pressure cooker is genius if you have that feature on your slow cooker or appliance. I love it. Done in 20 minutes and they were falling off the bone.
