INGREDIENTS
Chicken:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Marinade: (Use half for marinating and save half for later):
2 tbsp avocado oil
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers (about 1-2 peppers) in adobo sauce + 1 tbsp adobo sauce from the can
Juice from one lime
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish:
Fresh cilantro


INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take out a large bowl to prepare your marinade.
2. Add all of the marinade ingredients into the bowl and mix everything together until everything is combined. Then set aside for now.
3. Prepare your chicken for the recipe by trimming off the fat and butterflying if necessary. Then place in a large ziplock bag.
4. Take half of your marinade and add it to the large bag. We’ll save the other half for brushing the cooked chicken later.
5. Massage the bag to evenly coat the chicken all around.
6. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-8 hours or overnight if possible.
7. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
8. Add the chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
9. For chicken breasts: Cook on medium-high for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and no longer pink inside.
10. For bone-in thighs: Cook on medium, skin-side down first for 8-10 minutes undisturbed until skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook another 15-20 minutes total (cover loosely for the last 10 minutes if needed) until internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part away from the bone. It should take 25-35 minutes total on medium heat.
11. Once your chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet. Finish cooking your remaining chicken.
12. Take a pastry brush and brush your leftover marinade on your cooked chicken.
13. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve.
