Ingredients

For the Marinade:

  • 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 6 chicken thighs)
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2-3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt

For Serving:

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate: In a small bowl, combine all of the chili lime marinade ingredients and whisk well to combine. Reserve a small amount of marinade for grilling later. Marinate chicken in the mixture for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  2. To Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side, brushing with reserved marinade in the last few minutes. Rest the chicken before serving with cilantro.
  3. Stovetop Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side, brushing with reserved marinade in the last 2 minutes. Rest and serve with cilantro.

Notes

  • Leftover chicken can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Avoid marinating chicken for more than 4 hours due to lime juice acidity.
  • Monitor grill temperature closely for best results.
