Love this. I cube two chicken breasts instead of 6 thighs though. And I thought it was a tiny bit too limey the first time. Second time I only used zest of one lime (still juice from both) and then added a tiny bit more honey. Marinade about an hour. Dab off extra marinade before pan cooking until done. Perfection
