Braised Chicken with Tangerine and Star Anise (Star Anise)

In this recipe, star anise imparts a spicy licorice flavor and aroma, with sweet hints of cinnamon and cloves. Tangerine zest and juice add a sweet-tart element, cutting through the richness of the chicken thighs. Be sure to remove and discard the whole star anise before serving the dish.
