Sticky ginger lime chicken. This is one of those in-a-rush weeknight dinners. I used chicken thighs, but you could just as easily substitute breasts, legs or even wings. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
Make several deep slashes through the skin and flesh of each chicken breast, then add them to the bowl and stir to coat in the mixture.
Turn over halfway through cooking and baked until cooked through.
