Chili lime chicken - moist and delicious chicken marinated with chili and lime and grill to perfection. Easy recipe that takes 30 mins | rasamalaysia.com

Ingredients:
2-2 1/2 lbs. skin on chicken thighs
MARINADE:
1/2 c. fresh lime juice
3 tsp. fresh lime zest
1/4 c. olive oil
4 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped finely
2 jalapeno, chopped finely
4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 Tbsp. honey
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder, or to taste

Directions:
Rinse the chicken thighs, remove the bones, leave the skin on, and pat dry with paper towels.  Set aside.

Get a big bowl.  Mix together all of the marinade ingredients using a whisk.  Make sure the marinade is well combined.

Add chicken to the marinade and ensure the chicken is coated evenly.  Marinate for 2 hours (can do this in a ziploc bag if you want, otherwise plastic wrap the bowl and place in the refrigerator).

Turn on the grill to medium heat.  Brush some oil on the grill rack.  Place the chicken on the grill.  Place some of the garlic, cilantro and jalapeno from the marinade on top of the chicken.  Grill the chicken until cooked through and golden brown/charred on both sides.  Serve immediately.
