Chili Lime Chicken Thighs

I have been in a Mexican/Asian vibe this week. Stealing flavors on both sides. I had some chicken thighs in the fridge and this is what I came up with, pulling things willy nilly from my pantry and fridge. I love chili, I love lime, I love soy sauce, I love, love, love Tajin, I love ginger garlic sesame......
I made a marinade, let the chicken thighs bathe in it at room temp for a couple hours, and oven baked it at 350 for 1 1/2 hours, until shiny and golden red. Then I dressed it with sesame seeds, cilantro and lime wedges. See photo for full ingredients list. It was delicious!! I love cooking this way, with no particular recipe in mind, just pulling ingredients out of my kitchen as I go along. This is when the meal always comes out best!! Get into the kitchen and let your freak flag fly!!!





*make sure you let the marinade reduce to a syrup and baste as the chicken roasts
**I served it with an Asian slaw and rice
