How to Make Citrus Chili Chicken
- Juice 1 orange and 2 limes (approximately 1/2 cup juice total).
- In a bowl, whisk together the orange and lime juice, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Slash chicken breasts several times to allow the marinade to penetrate more effectively.
- Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) to the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
- Remove from grill and sprinkle with an additional 1/2 tablespoon of chili powder. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken if desired. Serve immediately with jasmine rice.
