Honey Lime Chicken Thighs

Pan-Roasted Honey Lime Chicken Thighs - one of the best and the easiest chicken thigh recipes you'll ever try!

📝 Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 7 chicken thighs ((about 7 or 8 chicken thighs, depends on the size of your skillet))
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 green onions (chopped)
• 1 lime (sliced (for garnish only))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce.
2. 2Salt the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or more) thoroughly, all over, including under the skin.
3. 3In 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken skin side gets nicely browned (make sure to get really nice brown, not just pale brown - it makes a difference in presentation).
4. 4Turn chicken, so that skins sides are up and add lime-honey mixture to the skillet. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 14 to 18 minutes longer or until done (chicken should register 180 degrees F on instant thermometer). While cooking, covered, chicken thighs will release their own juices, as well.
5. 5Transfer chicken to plates. Drizzle chicken with pan juices. Top with chopped green onions and serve with lime slices.
