Chipotle Lime Chicken - ridiculously delicious and juicy grilled chicken recipe with chipotle chili, lime juice, garlic and cilantro!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 - 2.5 lbs (900g-1.1kg) deboned skin on chicken thighs
Marinade:
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves roughly chopped
- 1 Jalapeño chopped finely
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder or more to taste
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Leave the skin on the chicken thighs but remove the bones by cutting two slits along each side of the bone. Rinse the chicken with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk all the Marinade ingredients until well combined, reserving some for basting. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is stirred and coated evenly. Marinate for at least 2 hours.
- Fire up the grill and brush a bit of the marinade, along with garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño, on top of the chicken. Grill until the chicken is golden brown and charred on both sides. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges.
Notes
- You may cook the chicken in an oven at 400F for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and charred. You may also cook the chicken on stovetop using a regular skillet or cast-iron grilled pan.
