Cooking Instructions
- To a large bowl, add lime juice, honey, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, and cayenne. Mix well. Add chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes, up to 4 hours.
- When ready, preheat oven to 400°F.
- To a large oven-safe skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add the chicken, reserving the excess marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the chicken begins to brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken is cooking, to a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the reserved marinade. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the marinade thickens and becomes sticky.
- Brush the marinade over the cooked chicken. Serve warm.
