Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (500g) chicken thighs (deboned, skin-on)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- 1 big pinch salt
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Rub minced garlic over the chicken thighs. In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt; coat the chicken with this glaze. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and cover with more foil.
