Key West-Inspired Chicken
Juicy chicken thighs soak up a sweet citrus marinade of soy, honey, orange, and lime, then grill until the edges caramelize and the meat stays tender inside. A glossy reduced sauce clings to every bite, bright with orange and finished with fresh cilantro.

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 2 large cloves garlic, grated
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
- Chopped cilantro and orange slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk soy sauce, honey, orange juice, lime juice, oil and garlic together in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium. Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, about 12 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a lively simmer; cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve the chicken with a drizzle of sauce and garnish with cilantro and orange slices, if desired.
