Succulent, juicy chicken in a sweet and citrusy marinade - these Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Thighs are perfect for any summer backyard BBQ. They're so easy they practically grill themselves. But don’t worry if you’re not into BBQing there are oven directions too!
Whisk together the lime, garlic, honey, soy sauce, salt and pepper in a small bowl with a fork.
Place the chicken in a wide flat bowl or lasagne pan and pour the marinade over. Mix it around until evenly coated.
Cover and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight so it really gets into the chicken. Stir occasionally.
Pre-heat the grill to medium high. Remove the garlic cloves and grill chicken over a medium hot grill for 5 -6 minutes on each side, until it is is cooked through, the juices run clear and/or or an instant read thermometer registers 165ºF/75ºC when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
Let chicken rest, covered in foil, for around 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you don't have an outside grill or BBQ you can oven roast this chicken on a baking sheet in a hot 425ºF/220ºC oven for around 15 minutes - until the juices run clear or an instant read thermometer registers 165ºF/75ºC.
