Midnight Chicken is coated in a glaze as dark as the night outside; that glaze is tangy, savory, and sweet with notes of garlic, citrus, and herbs ideal for draping over golden-brown seared chicken. In other words, it's a glaze that combines sunny brightness with depth. Midnight Chicken is fatty and fabulous, the kind of meal you dream about, especially when there are leftovers in the fridge!
