Instructions

  1. To make marinade, whisk together the lime juice, cilantro, garlic, vegetable oil, honey and salt until combined and all honey is dissolved.
  2. Lightly score chicken several times 1/4 inch deep against the grain of the chicken. Place the chicken in a dish or zip top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken to cover completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  3. Heat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Cook to an internal temperature of 165˚F.
  4. Once done, remove chicken from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This marinade can be made the night before so that the chicken can marinate overnight. I recommend not leaving the chicken in for more than 24 hours though.
  • Leftover chicken can be saved in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
