I've been cooking since I was a girl and I like trying new recipes. Lime juice is a nice change of pace from the lemon juice used in many chicken dishes.

LOVE this. I used boneless chicken thighs and increased the amount of lime juice and other seasonings and used fresh rosemary instead of dried. IT was excellent. Will definitely make again and again.

Tastes nice & light. I didn't have poultry seasoning so I combined what I had for it & it still turned out juicy. A nice change.

My oven was otherwise occupied, so I browned the chicken in a skillet, drizzled the sauce over it, covered it, and turned down the heat until it cooked through, about 10 minutes. It was quick, easy, and the chicken was moist and flavorful. I realized during dinner that I'd left out the brown sugar, and it was still delicious. We had sauteed asparagus and red peppers, and cous cous as sides.

This recipe has become our favorite way to cook thighs! Recently I have tried to cut refined sugar from our diets, I simply cut the brown sugar and adding 1/2 tsp of honey to the other liquid ingredients. Worked great. This is a very flavorful and super easy recipe.

Delicious! The seasoning is very good and the spices blend very nicely with the lime juice! I made the mistake of leaving the skin on so unfortunately the flavors did not absorb into the chicken as much :( I also opted to coat the thighs in EVOO instead of butter...trying to make it a little healthier and it allowed my daughter to eat it (she has dairy allergies).

I made this recipe tonight and after the chicken was done I cut it up and use it in wraps with black beans, corn, crushed torilla chips, diced tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers and shredded mexican cheese blend and topped it off the Seven Sea's Kraft dressing. It was Delicious!! This with become a regular at my house for dinner. Thanks for Sharing!!

My fiance said this was by far the best chicken he's ever had. He asked me to make it again the very next night! (Oh, and he took the recipe with him to work and some of the men made their wives make it that night) Delicious!
