The secret to fancying up a whole cut-up, budget-friendly chicken is in the marinade. Our restaurant-style marinade is packed with fresh ingredients like lime, garlic, olive oil and cilantro. The result is a moist and flavorful Mexican Lime Chicken.
What You'll Need
- 2/3 cup lime juice (juice of 4 to 5 limes)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 garlic head, cloves separated, peeled and chopped
- 1 (3-to 3 ½-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine lime juice, wine, oil, cilantro, and garlic.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and place in prepared baking dish. Pour lime mixture over top of chicken, cover, and marinate 20 to 30 minutes in refrigerator.
