Spicy Honey Lime Chicken

Yet another chicken marinade! I can't help myself. Honestly. 

This one was just meh. It's a very standard marinade and most the ingredients you might already have in your house. It'd be great if for when you have just a small amount of Italian dressing left (which is why I made it). 

I let mine marinade for the standard 5 hours (the sweet spot for me) and grilled it to almost perfection (aka over cooked it slightly).



Spicy Honey Lime Chicken
Recipe from Plain Chicken
Serves 4
  • 1¼ c Italian dressing
  • ¼ c lime juice
  • ¼ c honey
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 2 to 3 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2.5 to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders

Whisk together dressing, lime juice, honey, chili powder, and red pepper flakes.

Place chicken in a gallon size ziplock bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate chicken 1 hour to overnight.

Prepare grill. Remove chicken from marinade and place on grill. Cook until internal temperate reaches 165ºF, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
