Grilled Lime Sriracha Chicken Recipe
This Grilled Lime Sriracha Chicken Recipe features boneless, skinless chicken breasts marinated in a zesty blend of sriracha, fresh lime juice and zest, olive oil, honey, and black pepper. The marinade imparts a balance of heat, acidity, and sweetness that penetrates the chicken for a flavorful, slightly spicy profile. Grilling over medium-high heat sears the chicken with a slight char while keeping it juicy inside. Fresh cilantro and optional lime wedges add brightness as garnish.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast I had 5 breasts, thin-sliced, boneless, skinless
- ½ cup sriracha
- 1 to 2 teaspoons lime zest
- ⅓ cup lime juice

- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 to 4 tablespoons cilantro for garnishing, fresh

Instructions
- To a large ziptop plastic bag, add all ingredients except cilantro, seal, and smoosh around to evenly coat chicken. Place bag in fridge for at least 30 minutes, or overnight, to marinate.
- Lightly oil grill grates and preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken, discard the bag with the marinade, and grill for about 5 minutes on the first side with lid closed, flip, and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on the second side with lid closed, or until chicken is cooked through and as done as desired.
- Garnish chicken with cilantro, optional lime wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes
- Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes; longer marinating intensifies flavor and tenderness.
- Cook chicken on a preheated grill with oiled grates at medium-high to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Extra grilled chicken can be refrigerated airtight for up to 5 days and is suitable for quick meals later.
- Serve with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for added brightness and garnish.
