This zesty chili lime marinade adds a burst of flavor to your chicken, perfect for grilling or baking.
In a ziploc bag, combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and minced garlic.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly in the bag to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Add the chicken to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the chicken.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least 1.5 hours or overnight for best results.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the chicken.
Cook the marinated chicken using your preferred method, such as grilling, baking, or pan-frying.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Serve the cooked chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for an extra touch of flavor.
