Here, fresh tangerines (at their best in winter) add a tart-sweet element to a star anise–infused braising liquid for chicken. The fragrant ingredients perk up the deep flavors in the dish and cut through the richness of tender braised chicken thighs. If you like, sauté tangerine wedges in butter for a pretty garnish.
