Instructions
- 1Gather all ingredients for the three marinades and place them in separate bowls.
- 2Prepare the Honey Garlic Glaze by whisking soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, and chili flakes together (see component instructions).
- 3Prepare the Lemon Garlic Herb Marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, and seasonings (see component instructions).
- 4Prepare the Creamy Chipotle Lime Sauce by blending Greek yogurt, lime juice, oil, chipotle, adobo, garlic, and spices (see component instructions).
- 5Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- 6Choose one or more marinades; place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the selected marinade over it, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- 7Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; for deeper flavor, marinate for up to 12 hours.
- 8When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the refrigerator, discard excess marinade, and cook by your preferred method (grill, bake, or sauté).
- 9If grilling or baking, preheat the grill to medium‑high heat or the oven to 400°F (392°F). Cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F), about 6‑8 minutes per side for breasts or 12‑15 minutes for thighs.
- 10Serve the cooked chicken drizzled with any remaining sauce from the corresponding bowl, or serve the sauces on the side for extra flavor.
