Add the chicken pieces skin-side down and cook undisturbed until they pull away easily from the pan and the skin is golden, 5-8 minutes. Turn the pieces with tongs and cook for a minute longer, just to lightly brown the other side.

Pour off all but a tablespoon of the oil and add the ginger, garlic, rice wine, stock or water, honey, star anise, and soy sauce to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the clementine or orange juice, and put the chicken back into the skillet skin-side up (it should be about half-submerged with the crisp skin still exposed). Simmer until the chicken is just cooked though, 5-10 minutes more.
