Published Jun 05, 2018 Updated Nov 03, 2024 This honey lime chicken is inspired by a recipe on Eating Well, but I simplified my recipe to make it easier for you. It only takes 20 minutes to make and most of it is hands-off! While the honey lime chicken marinade is LOADED with flavor, it still goes well with a lot of side dishes. It’s amazing on top of Cilantro Lime Rice or just plain rice if you prefer. For a lighter meal, serve it with Roasted Spring Vegetables or in a fresh salad tossed with your favorite vinaigrette. Save some of that honey and try my Honey Balsamic Chicken or Honey Sriracha Chicken next! The honey and lime combo has a bright, citrusy flavor that tastes amazing with the chicken. If you’ve never tried it before, it works surprisingly well together. Try this recipe now! You have the glossy, perfectly charred, and baked chicken skin, with the meat bursting with the chicken juices. You can also make the dish with bone-in chicken thighs. Whichever part of chicken you use, you can make this dish all year long: bake in the oven, outdoor on the grill, or just cook on a skillet or cast-iron pan. However, skillet is an easy way to cook and you don’t want to wait that long to savor this delicious chicken! Broiling the chicken is an optional step, but I highly recommend it. It makes the chicken skin irresistibly crispy! I also love a bit of heat in my honey lime chicken, and you can add more chili flakes if you want it spicy or leave it out altogether. Pro tip: Double the marinade if you want it to be more “saucy.” I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do. If you try my recipe, please leave a comment and consider giving it a 5-star rating.
