Grilled Honey Lime Cilantro Chicken Thighs Recipe

This grilled honey lime cilantro chicken is made for summer nights. It’s fresh, a little sweet, a little tangy, and packed with flavor. I make this on repeat when I need something easy that still feels like a real dinner.

Grilled Honey Lime Cilantro Chicken Recipe

This grilled honey lime cilantro chicken recipe is one of those easy dinners that feels a little special. I love serving it with cilantro lime rice, grilled corn, and some simple guacamole.

1. Make Marinade: Combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and black pepper in a large ziplock bag or large bowl. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade if you want sauce for your chicken after it has cooked. *Never use marinade that raw chicken has been in.
2. Marinate: Add skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring all of the chicken is coated, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
3. Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken on each side for about 3-4 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F and is no longer pink. Tent with foil and let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
