"This is fantastic, i grabbed it for safekeeping, from Pamela at food. I make it often, always two batches, one for the next night and one to have ready in the freezer. Just take it out in the morning to defrost and it marinates at the same time."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine lime juice, lime zest, honey, ginger, and garlic in a large ziploc bag.

Step 2

Add chicken and combine well.

Step 3

Squeeze out as much air as possible and freeze.

Step 4

Remove from freezer the night before serving and defrost all day in the fridge; chicken will marinate as it defrosts.

Step 5

Transfer thighs to a roasting pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

You can also cook this chicken on the BBQ/grill if desired.

I made this as instructed using bone in thighs and this turned out perfectly. We absolutely loved the citrus flavour in this recipe, sooooo tasty!! We will be making this often.

I didn't freeze my chicken, but let it marinade 24 hours. It turned out very "limey"....not sure if my limes were larger than normal or if I marinated too long. I did use the garlic and ginger. Had to use the oven because I don't have a grill right now....think a grill would have really made this recipe. Thanks for sharing! Made for FYC tag game.

Good chicken which we enjoyed. Skipped the garlic but otherwise made as directed. I didn't freeze the chicken - just marinated it in the fridge for a few hours. Thanks for sharing!
