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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the chicken evenly. If it's too thin, it will run off the chicken during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the glaze regularly: Basting the chicken with the glaze will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Honey lime glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet honey and tangy lime makes for a flavorful glaze that is sure to please everyone. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
