Honey Lime Chicken
A delightful dish combining sweet honey and tangy lime flavors with juicy chicken thighs, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs (deboned, skin-on)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- 1 big pinch salt
- parsley (chopped) For garnish
- lime wedges For serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
- Rub the minced garlic on the chicken thighs using your hands.
- Add honey, soy sauce, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt to the chicken. Mix well.
- Transfer the chicken and the honey mixture to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Cover the chicken with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, or until fully cooked. If any sauce pools at the bottom of the foil, spoon and brush it over the chicken.
- Broil the chicken for 1 minute or until the skin is nicely charred.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and squeeze lime wedges over the chicken before serving.
Notes
Double the marinade if you want it to be more 'saucy.' Keep an eye on the chicken while baking to avoid dryness. Marinate for 30-60 minutes before baking to enhance the flavors.
