1 cup Key lime juice

2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

directions
Combine the lime juice, honey, water, salt, pepper, thyme, oil, ginger, and crushed red pepper in a blender. Process until combined.
Pour half of the marinade mixture into a covered container and place in the refrigerator. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl or plastic container with a lid. Pour the remaining lime mixture over the chicken, turning the chicken to coat in the mixture. Cover the container and refrigerate the chicken 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Drain the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken in a single layer in a baking dish. Place in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes.
Serve the chicken hot.

reviews & comments
Not sure what is meant by crushed red pepper. Is it dried chili pepper flakes, crushed?
Crushed red pepper flakes can be purchased in the spice aisle of most grocery stores. It is exactly that - dried chili pepper flakes.
