Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a gallon-size resealable bag, combine olive oil, honey, lime juice, minced jalapeño, garlic, and kosher salt. Seal and shake to mix.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the bag and ensure each piece is evenly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
