Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 lime juiced
  • lime zest

Chicken:

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs
  • salt to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • pepper to taste

Optional Garnishments:

  • dried chives
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Season chicken thighs with garlic powder, salt, and pepper - all to taste.
  • Place a medium nonstick skiller over medium heat; sear the chicken on both sides until it has reached a golden, crispy coating. Approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  • While the chicken is searing, prepare the ingredients for the sauce. Whisk ingredients in a medium bowl to thoroughly incorporate.
  • Once the chicken has reached a crispy outer coating, remove from pan and place into the bowl with the honey garlic lime sauce. Using tongs, toss to coat each thigh.
  • Return each thigh to the pan, skin side down. Cover and allow to cook 2-3 minutes before flipping. Add any remaining sauce in the bowl to the tops of each flipped thigh, recover and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Garnish with chives and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
