BUTTER-LIME ROASTED CHICKEN

Crispy, golden skin. Tangy, buttery glaze. These roasted chicken thighs are the kind of weeknight wonder that feels like a secret weapon—especially when you have our Butter EVOO and Key Lime White Balsamic on hand. They roast to perfection while you pour a glass of wine and toss a salad. A drizzle of Lime balsamic and you're done.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp Butter EVOO
  • 2 tbsp Key Lime White Balsamic
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh lime wedges, to serve

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425°. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place skin-side up in a large baking dish or cast-iron skillet. In a small bowl, whisk together Butter EVOO, Key Lime Balsamic, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Brush generously over chicken, making sure to coat the skin and underside. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden and crisp and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste once halfway through with pan juices. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon pan juices over top. Garnish with parsley and fresh lime wedges, if using.

Cook’s Option:
This same flavour combo works beautifully on bone-in pork chops or halved baby potatoes—just adjust roasting time as needed.
