Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 bone-in chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- In a large ziplock bag place the chicken.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together all ingredients to create the marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken into the Ziploc bag. Massage the marinade into the chicken until well coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is ideal.
- Grill the chicken breasts, brushing the leftover marinade over the chicken breasts as it cooks. You need to reach an internal temperature on 165 degrees F. (74 degrees C.). Check all the pieces of chicken to be certain that they are cooked.
- Once done remove from the grill and cover and allow to rest for about 5 minutes then serve.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Bone-in chicken breasts take longer than boneless chicken breasts to grill. It took us about 40 minutes total.
