Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then place them in a large bowl or zip-top bag.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.

Step 5

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

Step 6

Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
