Chili Lime Chicken Thighs can be used in multiple different meals - which I love! This time I paired them with rice and a side salad and it was delicious. I've used them in tacos, enchilada casserole, burrito bowls, burritos, chopped up in my eggs - the possibilities are endless.
Seasoned to perfection with fresh lime, this is some of the best chicken I've made. We've been prepping this for lunches and dinners recently and I can't get enough of it.
One thing I hate is dry chicken and this is far from that. If you seem to always be left with dry chicken, thighs are a great way to start out or practice. It's hard to overcook them and be dry. That's what makes cooking them so easy! Plus, I just love chicken thighs in general.
Pre-heat you oven to 425 degrees.
In a small dish, combine your onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper for your dry rub and set aside.
Evenly coat your chicken thighs in olive oil.
Next, sprinkle on your dry rub and give them a good massage.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the internal temp is 165 degrees.
Switch to broil for 3 to 5 minutes to get your chicken thighs perfectly golden.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and cilantro. Pair with your favorite side dishes - I did rice and salad!
