- Serves 6
This is a simple marinade that yields a tender, zesty chicken that's great on it's own, or as a filling for tacos, fajitas or to top nachos or a salad. Prep time includes marinating time.
Ingredients
- 3lbs boneless skinless breasts, thighs or tenderloin pieces shopping list
- 3 limes shopping list
- 1 stick butter, divided shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup rum(light or dark, if subbing, try OJ) shopping list
- 4 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped(make sure to crush the leaves, too) shopping list
- 2 green onions, sliced shopping list
- 1t dry mustard shopping list
- 1/2t cayenne(I use 2t) shopping list
- 1t paprika shopping list
- kosher or sea salt and fresh ground black pepper(don't skimp on the black pepper :) shopping list
How to make it
- Melt 1/2 stick butter and add it, olive oil, rum, juice from 2 limes, and zest from 1, garlic, mustard, mint, onions, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper in large zipper bag.
- Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Melt remaining butter and add juice from remaining lime, salt and pepper
- Grill chicken on medium heat until temperature is 165, turning once, and brushing with the lime butter. This will take anywhere from 5-12 minutes each side, probably, depending on the thickness and cut of chicken pieces.
