Tender chicken thighs marinated in a coconut lime mixture, grilled to perfection for a juicy and flavorful meal.

  • Total Time: 80

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, making sure they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour – or overnight for even more flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.
  • Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 7-8 minutes before flipping them over.
  • Cook for an additional 7-8 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The skin should be crispy and golden-brown.
  • Once done, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the juices locked in!
