The Last Chicken Thigh Marinade You'll Ever Need

This easy chicken thigh marinade is made with orange juice and shallot and comes together quickly for dinner tonight. With the addition of chili-lime seasoning, you add a subtle kick of heat, and honey mustard adds the perfect touch of sweetness, while helping the marinade cling to the chicken thighs. Don't feel you must use this marinade on chicken alone—it would be great with pork. If you use it for shrimp, you should limit the marinade time as citrus juice can make the shellfish tough and stringy.
