Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine lime juice, honey, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, and cayenne. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • In a large oven-safe skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs, reserving the excess marinade. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the marinade thickens and becomes sticky.
  • Brush the thickened marinade over the cooked chicken thighs. Serve warm.
