Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Chicken Fajita Marinade.
Step 1
Start by gathering all the ingredients for your delicious marinade and chicken.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine vegetable oil, chili powder, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Step 3
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth, well-blended mixture that will infuse your chicken with flavor.
Step 4
Next, take your chicken strips and place them in a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 5
Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag tightly, and give it a gentle knead to ensure every piece is coated in that tasty marinade.
Step 6
Don’t forget to squeeze out any excess air before sealing the bag completely.
Step 7
For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 8
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 9
Once the grill is hot, take the chicken strips out of the marinade, discarding any leftover marinade.
Step 10
Grill the chicken for about ten minutes on each side, or until it’s beautifully browned and no longer pink in the center.
Step 11
To ensure it’s perfectly cooked, use an instant-read meat thermometer to check that the thickest piece reaches at least 160°F (70°C).
Step 12
Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma as your chicken cooks, and get ready to savor a meal that’s bursting with flavor!.
