Honey Lime Chicken Marinade

Joe loves chicken.  I like chicken a lot.  But not as much as Joe.  Therefore, I am always on the lookout for new ways to cook chicken.  Browsing Pinterest can be a great way to find different recipes and one that I pinned led me back to The Enchanted Cook and a blog post from almost a year and a half ago.

I did cut the recipe in half and still had too much.  It was good as leftovers though and made a great topping to a salad later in the week.  You will be seeing more of this recipe as Oregon rain gives way to spring (which will hopefully be sooner than later)!


Ingredients
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (1 lime), plus the zest
1 Tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound of chicken

Directions
1. In a large zip top plastic bag combine all of the ingredients except the chicken. Seal bag completely and mix well.
2. Add chicken to bag, turn to coat and reseal. Place in refrigerator overnight.
3. Grill it up and eat!
