Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs . (700g) skin-on deboned chicken thighs
- lime wedges (for garnishing)
- chopped cilantro (for garnishing)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 tablespoons cilantro stems and leaves (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, whisk all the Marinade ingredients together until well combined. Add the chicken to the marinade, stirring to coat evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate for 15 minutes; for optimal flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.
-
Heat a skillet and pan-fry the chicken skin-side down until it is slightly browned. Then, turn it over and pan-fry the other side until it is also slightly browned.
-
Spoon the remaining marinade over the chicken before baking. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes.
-
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, discarding the oily drippings. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.
