Description
A deliciously sweet and tangy grilled chicken marinated in honey, lime, and spices, perfect for cookouts or meal-prepping.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- 3 medium cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Optional: extra lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño
Instructions
- Make the marinade by adding olive oil, honey, lime juice, ginger, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic, and kosher salt into a small saucepan. Stir until well combined.
- Marinate the chicken by spooning 3 tablespoons of marinade into a zip-top bag, add chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Reduce the remaining marinade over medium heat until syrupy (1–2 minutes), then cool it.
- Cook the chicken on a grill or in a hot pan for about 12–15 minutes, turning frequently.
- Baste with the reduced glaze while cooking.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Trim excess fat from thighs for better cooking results. Cool the glaze before basting heavily.
