Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breasts
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey

- 2 Cloves Garlic Minced or Grated
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Pepper
Instructions
- Mix 1/4 cup Olive Oil, 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Honey, Lime Juice, 2 Cloves of Minced or Grated Garlic, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Pepper, and 1 tsp Dried Oregano in a medium-sized bowl or plastic zip-lock bag.
- Add the 1 Pound of Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breasts to the marinade and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Heat a bbq grill to 375 degrees or pan to medium heat. Cook the chicken on a grill, grill pan, or pan for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe works great with chicken thighs or chicken breasts, whatever you prefer. The measurements for the marinade do not need to be exact; the recipe is very forgiving. I would not recommend letting the chicken marinate for more than 24 hours because the lime juice will start to break down the chicken. The chicken can be cooked on a grill, grill pan, or a pan on the stove; it will turn out amazing no matter what method you use.
