Honey Chipotle Marinade // Plow and Pasture

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce ($0.30)
  • 2 Tbsp honey ($0.54)
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice (about one lime) ($0.59)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced ($0.08)
  • 1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil, divided ($0.08)
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs ($6.78)
  • 2 sliced green onions (optional) ($0.22)

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Mince the chipotle peppers. Combine the minced peppers in a bowl with the honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and 1 Tbsp cooking oil.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over top. Toss the chicken in the marinade until evenly coated.
  • Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to one day. If marinating longer than one hour, refrigerate the chicken as it marinates.
  • When ready to cook the chicken, heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add the remaining 1 Tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook on one side until the water released by the chicken evaporates, the marinade has reduced to a glaze, and the chicken has browned. Flip the chicken over and cook on the second side until browned and cooked through.
  • Top with sliced green onions and serve.
