Honey Lime Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp butter (divided into 2 tbsp and 1)
• 2 tbsp lime juice (around 1 lime) (divided into 2)
• 2-3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 4-5 cloves garlic (sliced or left whole)
• 8 chicken thighs
• pistachios (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 375 degrees

2. 2

   In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat melt 2 tablespoons butter, add half the juice the lime, honey, soy sauce, and garlic. Stir and let the liquid come to boil (should be quick)

3. 3

   Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. If you can using skin-on chicken, place the chicken in the cast iron skin side down first. Transfer chicken to a plate after the chicken has been browned.

4. 4

   Add the rest of the butter and lime juice to the cast iron skillet (chili flakes can be added here if you desire). Stir until mixed together. Give the sauce a taste here to make sure it is not bitter from the lime, if it is, add more butter or honey.

5. 5

   Transfer the chicken back to the pan and top off with a handful of pistachios (optional) before placing it into the oven for 15-20 minutes.

6. 6

   Add lime slices or wedges and chopped cilantro for garnish and serve with your side of choice. I served the chicken with couscous.
