Categories     Chicken

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 c lime juice (or 6 limes)
2 tsp lime zest
1/2 c orange juice
1/4 c soy sauce, low sodium
1/4 c honey
8 chicken thighs, skinless, bone-in
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
2/3 c cup chopped shallots, from 2 shallots
lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. 1. In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice and 1 teaspoon of the lime zest together with the orange juice, soy sauce and honey. Transfer mixture to a Ziploc® Brand Storage Bag with the Smart Zip™ Seal and add the chicken thighs. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • 2. 2.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken pieces in the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes, turning once. Remove the thighs and set aside. Add the shallots to the pan and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, until softened. Add the reserved marinade and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the liquid begins to get a bit syrupy. Add the chicken pieces and transfer the pan to the oven. Cook for 20 minutes, turning the pieces once.
  • 3. 3. Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving platter. Pour the glaze over the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of lime zest. Garnish with lime wedges.
  • 4. Make the marinade for these chicken thighs ahead of time, and dinner's as easy as tossing them in the oven or on the grill. Serve them with a cool potato salad or pasta salad for a satisfying, no-fuss meal.

I love the way the honey and lime caramelize on the chicken. It gives it a delicious crispy coating.

I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe and they turned out great. I think they're a better choice than chicken breasts because they're more flavorful.

The chicken was so moist and tender. I cooked it for a few extra minutes than the recipe called for, and it was still perfect.
