Feeling Spicy Tonight? Try BLAC’s Chili Lime Chicken

Get a hint of spicy, get a hint of sweetness, and a whole lot of yummy! What’s cookin’ in BLAC’s kitchen? it’s Chili Lime Chicken.

Grilled chicken has become a staple in our house, all year round but especially in the fall, and now that the weather has been cooling down, we’ve been using the grill several times for that last bit of summer. We loved this simple chili lime marinade that can work its magic in as little as two hours. For that time you’re soaking the white meat in this flavorful marinade, and if there’s some left over, serve it up with a side salad or your favorite Fall veggies. The easiest part is just cooking the chicken on the grill or a stove pan (as evident below). Serve and taste the explosive flavor.
