Ingredients

4 servings

1.5 poundsboneless skinless chicken thighs

1 tablespoonlime zest

from s, plus lime wedges, for serving

1 tablespoonfresh ginger

finely grated, from a 3-inch piece of peeled ginger

Instructions

Step 1

Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1½ teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)

Step 2

To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.

Step 3

To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.

Step 4

Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
