This is not your ordinary BBQ. A great citrus-y marinade. This is a great one to double up on, throw the second batch of chicken in the marinade and put it in the freezer and it'll be ready for a quick and flavorful meal.
2 tbs grated lime zest
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbs chopped fresh mint
1 tbs honey
2 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 3 1/2 pound chicken cut into 6 pieces with skin removed from all but wings (or just by pick of the chick...much easier)
1 lime cut into wedges and fresh mint sprig for garnish
Mix all ingredients (except chicken) well. Reserve 1/2 the marinade in a seperate bowl and refrigerate. Put the remaining marindae in a bag with the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Marinade for 2 hours up to overnight.
Preheat grill and coat grill rack lightly with oil. remove chicken from marinade and girll, turning occasionally until cooked through. About 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the reseved marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Serve as a sauce over the chicken.
Enjoy! Gotta love grillin' season!
