Description

A spicy and sweet chicken dish marinated in honey-lime glaze that will elevate your dining experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and hot sauce. Toss in your chicken, making sure it gets a good coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat up a skillet: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Let it heat up.
  3. Cook the chicken: Once sizzling, add your marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until perfectly cooked through.
  4. Glaze it up: Drizzle some leftover marinade over the chicken in the last minute of cooking.
  5. Serve and admire: Let the chicken rest briefly, slice it up, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with a lime wedge.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate overnight. Serve over rice or in tacos for a delicious meal.
