Print Recipe

12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
3 large limes, juice and zest of
8 ounces liquid honey
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)

Combine lime juice, lime zest, honey, ginger, and garlic in a large zip top bag. Add chicken and combine well. Squeeze out as much air as possible and freeze.

To serve: Remove from freezer the night before serving and defrost all day in the fridge; chicken will marinate as it defrosts. Transfer thighs to a roasting pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. You can also cook this chicken on the BBQ/grill if desired.

Teriyaki Pork Chops

Print Recipe

2/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
8 pork chops, 1 inch thick

Combine all the ingredients EXCEPT the pork chops in a pan and bring to boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Cool completely. When the marinade is completely cool, place the chops in a labeled freezer bag. Pour the marinade over the chops and close the bag. Make sure the marinade has reached all the pork chops. Label, seal and freeze.

To serve: Thaw completely in the refrigerator (mine took about 24 hours to thaw). Grill chops, discarding marinade, until completely cooked, about 7 or 8 minutes per side.
