Spicy Honey Lime Chicken Thigh Recipe

We were so thrilled with our Spicy Honey Lime Shrimp recipe, I knew it would be terrific adapted for juicy chicken thighs. To add a little more depth to the flavor, we  brought soy sauce to the party which turned out to be the perfect compliment for the sweet honey and fresh lime juice. The spicy base comes from the dry Sriracha Seasoning but if you can’t find it in your store, feel free to use your favorite spice blend. If you’re on Amazon you can find the seasoning there too. Check out the link at the bottom of this post.

If you can wait to get the chicken to the table, it’s terrific served over rice or pasta, basically anything that will help you sop up every drop of the zesty sauce. Crusty bread works great too! Served with a side of steamed broccoli or oven roasted green beans, this chicken thigh recipe is super satisfying and very delicious!

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• juice of 1 lime, about 1 1/2 tablespoons
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha dry seasoning, more or less to taste (or substitute your favorite seasoning blend)
• 1 3/4 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8 thighs) (chicken breasts work well too but need to cook longer)
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili pepper flakes (optional)
• chopped fresh parsley for garnish
• sliced lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Combine the garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine, set aside.
2. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken thighs with the dry Sriracha seasoning blend.
3. In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Once the skillet is hot add the chicken thighs in a single layer. Cook the chicken until browned on both sides, 4-5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic lime sauce and cook the chicken, turning and stirring occasionally, until done all the through, 7-10 minutes. The sauce will thicken and caramelize and reduce slightly.
