Equipment

  • oven
  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Grater
  • bowl
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 2 to 2 ¼ pounds total
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 medium limes divided
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger
  • ¾ cup sweet chili sauce

Instructions
 

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with kosher salt. Place skin-side down in an unheated skillet and sear until golden-brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Grate zest from 1 lime into a bowl. Juice 1 lime into the same bowl. Reserve lime wedges for serving. Grate ginger and combine with lime zest and juice, then add sweet chili sauce and whisk.
  • Transfer chicken skin-side up to a plate, pour off excess fat from the pan, return chicken to skillet skin-side up, pour glaze over chicken, and roast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Optionally, broil for 1 to 3 minutes to add color and crunch, and serve with reserved lime wedges.

Notes

Ensure chicken internal temperature is checked for safety.
