Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Zest and juice of two limes
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
Directions
-
In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, lime zest and juice, garlic cloves, Sriarcha, and salt. Place the chicken in a gallon sized ziptop bag or other resealable container and pour the marinade mixture all over the chicken. Seal the container and shake to coat completely. Let marinade for at least four hours or overnight. Remove the chicken from the marinade before grilling, discarding the leftover marinade.
-
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350°F to 450°F). Grill the chicken with the lid closed as much as possible until the meat is firm and opaque with an internal temperature of 165°F, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
This recipe is amazing and great! Thanks for sharing this information!

Came across this recipe about a month ago and I make it every week for my lunches! It has everything you could ask for! Sweet yet savoury with a little bit of spice! I bake it at 450 for 16 minutes but i cut my chicken in strips!
Thanks for the recipe I call it my crack chicken!!
Hi Tessa! This sounds wonderful and can’t wait to try it it. Would this recipe still taste the same if I freeze the chicken with the marinade? I’d like to be able to have it already prepared and just be able to thaw and grill for those busy weeknights. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks.
I don’t see why that wouldn’t work! I would just be careful of letting the defrosted chicken sit in the marinade too long because of the lime juice.
What sides would you make with this? I was thinking potatoes and cauliflower, but I don’t know what earthy flavors would complement the lime and honey.
Love this. So simple and delicious served over white lime cilantro Rice with Black Beans, Yumm!!
can I bake this instead? If so, what temperature and for how long? Thanks!
I would say 350°F for 20-30 min depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
Just tried it. I replaced limes with rice vinegear to have a less fruity flavour and this came out ridculously tasty. Everyone loved it 😀
I made this tonight and LOVED it! I cut the sriracha sauce in half because my boyfriend doesn’t like too much heat, added an extra lime because I had 3 on hand and they were small, and omitted the salt because I had full-sodium soy sauce. It turned out great–we both loved it!! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! 🙂
Made it tonight and 2 out of 3 kids liked it a lot! I’m definitely going to try it with thighs next time. Great recipe! Thank you.
I love this idea. I make chicken with honey, soy sauce and garlic, but adding lime and siracha sounds so good! Thank you for that 🙂
I just made this chicken tonight for dinner, everybody loved it! Thanks for the great recipe, it’s a keeper!
Awesome! I’m glad everybody enjoyed the recipe.
Could you use chicken thighs instead for this?
Absolutely!
This sounds delicious! What do you recommend serving it with?
These flavors sound perfect for the Summer; I love grilling chicken!
OMG…I was fortunate enough to have the ingredients on hand – made it for dinner tonight – absolutely delish!! If you don’t like things spicy just back off on the Srirachi sauce. I think I’ll add pineapple rice to go with it next time. It will burn easily due to the honey, so spray down the grill grate & keep an eye on it, it turned out just like the picture & only took 10 min to prepare marinade. Excellent recipe Tessa – as always – you’ve got some ‘mad skills’ & I look forward to your emails & recipes!
Great recipe..can’t wait to try it! 🙂
Fantastic flavors, definitely need this on the menu soon!
Love this recipe!! Perfect timing .. now that it’s Spring, we can actually grill outside again! 🙂
This chicken looks amazing! I love all the flavors in it 🙂
Honey lime salad dressing is always my favorite on restaurant salads…but on chicken with some sriracha? Double yum! Love this easy meal for the Summer Tessa! Pinned 🙂
