CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs skin-on deboned chicken thighs
- lime wedges, for garnishing
- chopped cilantro, for garnishing
Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro stems and leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Whisk all the Marinade ingredients together in a big bowl, mix well. Add the chicken into the Marinade, stir to coat well. Marinate for 15 minutes but best for 2 hours.
- Heat up a skillet and pan-fry the chicken with the skin-side down until slightly browned. Turn over and pan-fry the other side of the chicken until slightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet into oven and bake for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken and the Marinade residual (after baking) to a serving platter (discard the oil), squirt some fresh lime juice and garnish with cilantro, serve immediately.
RECIPE NOTES
Make sure you use an oven-safe skillet or pan before baking
the chicken in the oven. You may also grill the chicken. For the chicken, you
can use boneless and skinless chicken breast/chicken thighs or bone-in chicken
thighs.
