Best Honey Chili Chicken Thighs With Creamy Cilantro Sauce Recipes

4 INGREDIENT HONEY LIME CHILI CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Whisk the lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and honey together and set aside.
• Pat chicken dry.
• Heat an ovenproof skillet on the stove top, add oil. When it ripples, carefully add the chicken, skin side down. Shake the pan a little to prevent sticking. Brown on one side until it turns a deep, dark golden colour (about 4-5 minutes), then flip and brown on the other side.
• Remove from heat, drain excess oil, pour the honey-lime-chili mixture over all and place skillet in the oven.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175°F.
• Serve garnished with extra lime slices.

HONEY-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Cover the bottom of a cast iron skillet with olive oil and bring to medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip chicken, and add onion and garlic; continue to cook until chicken is mostly (but not fully) cooked and onion and garlic are soft, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove chicken to a plate.
• Add honey, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and onion powder to the skillet. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to get the garlic and onion to mix with the liquid.
• Put chicken back into the pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 more minutes, turning once halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Place on a serving tray and drizzle liquid from the pan on top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
