- Combine chicken and all marinade ingredients into a plastic bag and let marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight.

- Line a 9x9 baking pan with foil and empty contents of bag into the pan, spreading the chicken thighs out. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of five-spice on top of the chicken thighs.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken, then lay the lime in the marinade liquid between the chicken.
