Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs. skin-on deboned chicken thighs
• lime wedges for garnishing
• chopped cilantro for garnishing

Marinade:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 4 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro stems and leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes or more to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Whisk all the Marinade ingredients together in a big bowl, mix well. Add the chicken into the Marinade, stir to coat well. Marinate for 15 minutes, but best for 2 hours.

3. Heat up a skillet and pan-fry the chicken with the skin-side down until slightly browned. Turn over and pan-fry the other side of the chicken until slightly browned.

4. Spoon the leftover Marinade on top of the chicken before baking. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes.

5. Transfer the chicken and the Marinade residual to a serving platter (discard the oil), squirt some fresh lime juice, garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
