Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1–2 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Add chicken and ensure it’s well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for best flavor).
