The Enchanted Cook: Honey Lime Chicken (inspired by Sunset Magazine)

The Enchanted Cook: Honey Lime Chicken (inspired by Sunset Magazine)
Leave it to Sunset Magazine to come up with a variety of delicious marinades to suit any purpose and serve them up in one cool issue (August 2010). Recently I made the two "Perfect for Seafood" marinades - Lemongrass, Chile and Coconut Milk Shrimp and Chile Ginger Shrimp. Both were fantastic, so this time I decided to try the honey lime marinade from the "Perfect for Chicken" section and I was very pleased with the outcome.It doesn't get any easier than this - 5 simple ingredients (not including the salt and pepper), marinade overnight, and throw on the grill. Then sit back and enjoy the lime-infused, honey-crusted chicken. Serves 4-6 Marinade: 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes), plus the zest of both limes 2 Tablespoons honey 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 2 pounds of chicken (I used boneless skin-on breasts, but use whatever suits you)

Stylish Cuisine « Spinach and Chicken Tortilla Bake My husband usually likes my food, but occasionally I make something that isn’t his favorite. The great thing about my husband is that he gives his honest opinion about everything he tries. If he doesn’t like something, he’s very diplomatic, but he’s clear about his dislike.
