Sizzling Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken
This Spicy Honey-Lime Chicken combines the warmth of honey, the zest of lime, and a hint of heat from sriracha. It's delightful whether served hot or cold.
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds boneless skinless thighs trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
- 3 tablespoons low sodium tamari
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce to taste
- 1.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch optional for glaze
Instructions
- Mix together maple syrup, tamari, lime, garlic, ginger, and sriracha in a bowl until fragrant and smooth.
- Place the chicken pieces in a sealable bag with half the mixture, leaving the rest aside for basting. Seal and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, letting the aroma fill the air while oiling the grates to prevent sticking.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring pieces don’t touch. Grill each skewer on all sides until golden, about 10 minutes, basting with reserved sauce.
- Remove from heat, covering lightly to rest for 5 minutes. Arrange on a platter with a sprinkle of parsley and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
