Ingredients
- 2 tsp Dan-O’s Chili Lime
- 1 tsp Dan-O’s Spicy
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp mayo
- ¼ cup cotija cheese, crumbled, extra for topping

Preparation Instructions
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, add the lime juice, avocado oil, and 2 tsp Dan-O’s Chili Lime Seasoning and mix well. Add in the chicken and toss it all together, and let it marinate in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until done. Let it rest a few minutes, then cut into chunky, juicy pieces.
- Grill the corn: Toss the corn in a hot skillet with a little Dan-O’s Chili Lime seasoning and cook for about 5 minutes, until it’s slightly charred and smoky.
- Make the street corn mix: In a bowl, mix the 1 tsp Dan-O’s Spicy, sour cream, mayo, and cotija cheese. Then stir in the cooked corn and diced red onion.
- Assemble the bowl: Spoon the street corn mixture over your chunked chicken in a bowl. Top with fresh cilantro, extra cheese, and serve with lime wedges on the side for that zesty punch.
