Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Recipes

GRILLED CHILE-CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, lime zest, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cumin together in a small bowl. Place chicken in a large plastic bag or a bowl and add lime marinade. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in a refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and skin is golden and lightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken thighs, remove the bones, leave the skin on, and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
• Get a big bowl, mixing all the ingredients of the Marinade together using a whisk. Make sure the Marinade is well combined together.
• Add chicken to the Marinade, make sure to stir and coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for 2 hours.
• Fire up the grill, brush a little bit of oil on the surface. Add a little bit of the garlic, cilantro, and jalapeno from the Marinade on top of the chicken and grill them until they turn golden brown and charred on both sides. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CHILI-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large zipper bag. Squish to combine. Add chicken, turn to coat well. Refrigerate and marinate for about 3 hours or so.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove chicken and discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. This works well on an indoor or outdoor grill, but I wouldn't recommend baking it. If you absolutely can't grill it, you might get away with searing it in a skillet.
• Leftovers can be sliced and frozen to be used later in other recipes. (See above).
