Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Grilled Chicken with Citrus Marinade.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, red wine vinegar, orange juice, white wine, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Add the salt, pepper, chipotle chile powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, ground cinnamon, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and olive oil to the bowl. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and there are no signs of pink in the meat.
