Honey Lime Chicken
Deliciously seasoned Honey Lime Chicken thighs, marinated and cooked to perfection.
Equipment
- 12-inch skillet
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil not extra virgin, divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 limes juice and zest
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and combine to make sure the chicken thighs are well coated in the seasonings.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken thighs in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the pan onto a plate, and set aside.
- To the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add about ¼ cup of water to the skillet, and deglaze the pan scraping off any bites stuck with a wooden spoon.
