Southwest Grilled Chicken


Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 large cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon jalapeno sauce

1-1/4 teaspoons ground cumin

1-1/4 teaspoons salt

2 chickens (3 to 4 lbs. each), cut up

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Prepared salsa



1. Heat grill.

2. For the marinade, whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno sauce, cumin and salt in a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup to plastic resealable storage bag with cut-up chicken; add remaining 1/4 cup to another bag with boneless breasts. Seal bags and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

3. Grill chicken over medium* heat, 30 to 40 minutes for bone-in pieces, 10 to 15 minutes for boneless breasts or until cooked through. Serve with salsa. Makes 8 servings.

*Note: To test for medium heat, you should be able to hold your hand over the coals at the height of the food for 4 seconds before you have to pull away.
