Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 18 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

Making Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey until fully combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for the best flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, let the coals burn until they’re covered with white ash.

4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.

5. Season the Chicken: Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Make sure to grill the chicken until it’s nicely caramelized and has beautiful grill marks.

7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring it stays tender and juicy.

8. Garnish: Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for an appealing presentation.
