Grilled Chile Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipes

GRILLED LIME CILANTRO CHICKEN WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Combine 1/4 cup cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour over chicken and seal the bag. Let marinate in the refrigerator, 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat Panasonic® Countertop Induction Oven to Medium on the "Grill" setting.
• Place chicken on the grill pan. Grill chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Brush chicken with sweet chili sauce. Garnish with 1 teaspoon cilantro.

GRILLED CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using an immersion blender, combine cilantro, zest from one lime, olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili powder, salt and pepper.
• Clean and trim chicken thighs and place into a gallon size Ziploc bag with the drumsticks.
• Cover the chicken with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
• Preheat grill to 350°F.
• Clean grates and spray with grill spray.
• Using grill tongs, remove chicken from bag and place on grill over direct heat. Discard remaining marinade.
• Grill chicken for around 18 minutes, flipping every six minutes (one side of the thighs will be grilled twice), or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before eating. Garnish with additional lime zest (from one lime), a teaspoon or so of chili powder, and chopped cilantro.

GRILLED CHILE-CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, lime zest, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cumin together in a small bowl. Place chicken in a large plastic bag or a bowl and add lime marinade. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in a refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and skin is golden and lightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and garnish with cilantro.

GRILLED CHILI-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large zipper bag. Squish to combine. Add chicken, turn to coat well. Refrigerate and marinate for about 3 hours or so.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove chicken and discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. This works well on an indoor or outdoor grill, but I wouldn't recommend baking it. If you absolutely can't grill it, you might get away with searing it in a skillet.
• Leftovers can be sliced and frozen to be used later in other recipes. (See above).

TAJíN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high, direct heat; clean the grates well, then brush them with vegetable oil. Alternatively, heat a grill pan on medium-high and brush the pan with oil.
• Arrange the chicken on a sheet tray and generously season both sides with salt. Whisk together the agave syrup, orange juice, orange zest, chipotles, adobo, garlic, olive oil and Tajín in a medium bowl.
• Brush both sides of the chicken with the Tajín sauce. Grill the chicken, turning and basting often with the Tajín sauce, until cooked through, charred but brick red and glazed, 7 to 9 minutes. Grill the scallions, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Serve the chicken with the grilled scallions, topped with cilantro.
