Lime Grilled Chicken

I found this amazing recipe on www.cookingforengineers.com.(Check the pictures out there) However, when I printed out the recipe, it took up 15 pages.... Note if you do visit that site, I halved the recipe.

Step 1: Marinade
4 lbs chicken (I used chicken thighs, but any will do)
2 cups water
2 tbps salt
1 lime
1 tsp garlic powder (or one clove of garlic)

Rinse your pieces of chicken. Dissolve the salt in water. Add the juice of the lime and the garlic powder. Stir. (By the way, to juice the lime without any special tools, roll it on the counter a few times, slice it in half, and squeeze. If any seeds fall in, don't worry.) Place the chicken in a zip top bag, pour the liquid in and close. Try to get as much air out as possible so all of the chicken is submerged.

 Let the marinade do its magic for an hour or two, but not more.


Step 2: Season and Cook
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lime (save the other half for garnish)

Take the chicken out of the marinade, and rinse each piece under running water. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken in a nice big bowl. Let it sit while you combine the seasoning.

Combine the first four ingredients above in a small bowl. Stir to combine.

If any liquid has collected in the bottom of the bowl, soak it up with a paper towel. Add the seasoning, oil and the juice from half the lime. Toss several times to coat.

Grill the chicken. (Here's the part I really can't help you with) Don't crowd the pieces, turn every five minutes.

ENJOY!
