We eat a lot of chicken in my house and this is one of my favorite marinades when grilling. It adds so much flavor without overpowering. It’s versatile enough so kids and adults can enjoy it (meaning: not spicy) and takes well to any additional sauce you want to add after it’s grilled. I highly recommend pairing it with my Charred Poblano and Corn Salsa or using leftovers in my favorite chicken salad recipe that I promise I will post later! Until then, just in time for the weekend – fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
