Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to tenderize.
  2. Cook the chicken: For Air Fryer, arrange in a single layer at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway. For Oven, place on a parchment-lined tray at 425°F (220°C) for 18–20 minutes until edges are golden.
  3. Whisk together the maple syrup, remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, lime zest, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  4. During the last 3–5 minutes of cooking, brush the glaze generously over each thigh and return to the heat until the glaze bubbles and becomes thick and sticky.
