Chili Lime Chicken Recipes

CHILI LIME GRILLED CHICKEN

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.

SLOW COOKER CHILE-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, cilantro, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt in a blender or food processor and puree, making sure chipotle chiles are chopped very fine.
• Place a layer of chicken in a slow cooker and cover with about 1/2 of the liquid mixture. Lay on remaining chicken and pour remaining liquid over top.
• Cover and cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 6 hours, or on High, about 3 hours. Turn off the heat and let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix the dry spices together and set aside.
• Rinse the chicken and place the pieces in a ziploc bag.
• Pound the chicken with a metal mallet until it is all the same thickness.
• This makes cooking easier.
• Pour the juice from 4 limes over the chicken.
• Sprinkle the dry seasoning over the chicken to taste.
• Wimps usually only want 1/2 tsp per side of chicken.
• I then cooked the chicken for 5 1/2 minutes on a George Foreman grill.
• As each piece finished cooking and I removed it from the grill I squeezed the juice from 1/2 of a lime on it.
• YUMMY.

BAKED CHILI LIME CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange chicken tenders in single layer in pan.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together chili sauce, orange marmalade, soy sauce, lime juice, dried onion, garlic, and salt and pepper. Pour mixture over chicken.
• Cover pan with plastic wrap and let marinate in fridge for about an hour (I let mine marinate for about 3 hours), turning chicken once, about half way through marinating time.
• Remove chicken from fridge, discard plastic wrap, and bake chicken for about 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven, turn chicken pieces over and return to oven and bake for 10-15 more minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear).
• Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
