8 cups room temperature water
1/3 cup + 1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®, (divided)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted)
3 tablespoons honey
1 lime, (juiced and zested)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons corn starch (or arrowroot powder)
1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Toss chicken with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®.
