Looking for a quick, scrumptious chicken recipe? I’ve got one for you. The other day, I laid eyes on a pack of chicken thighs that I had in the freezer. Costco sells them in sealed twin packs. I defrosted them and then pulled out my cast iron skillet to get to work.
Ingredients
- Juice from 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 to 5 chicken thighs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine lime juice, honey, and soy sauce and set aside.
- Pull the skin back on chicken thighs and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet on medium-high. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for about 5 minutes or until skin gets golden brown.
- Flip chicken thighs over skin side up. Add the honey/lime/soy mixture to skillet. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- After plating chicken, drizzle liquid from skillet over it.
Garnish with lime wedges.
Do you cook often with a cast iron skillet?
Which part of the chicken do you prefer?
See ya later,

Super easy to make, Kristin.
This is just begging to be made in my house this weekend. So easy, too. Nothing quite as scrumptious as a pan seared chicken thigh.
My family loves it, Eli. Thanks!
