Image From kaleforniakravings.com
For the grilled chicken:
2 lbs. chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
¼ cup lime juice
3 Tbsp honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the honey-lime sauce:
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
Make the marinade: Mix your lime juice, honey, garlic, olive oil, cilantro, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
Add your chicken thighs, cover and marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
Make the sauce: While the chicken cooks, mix your sauce ingredients together.
Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium high heat and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Once hot, remove your chicken thighs from the marinade and place them direct on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side (or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the chicken thighs).
To serve: Serve your chicken immediately with your honey-lime sauce drizzled over the top.
