How to Make Spicy Grilled Chicken Strips

  1. Slice 1 lb of chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Place in a large bowl.
  2. In a blender, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (or to taste), 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken strips, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor. (Reduce marinating time to 1 hour for fish.)
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the chicken strips directly on the grill rack. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred in places.
  5. **Recipe Idea:** For delicious chicken kebabs, cube the chicken instead of slicing into strips. Marinate as above. Before grilling, thread onto wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Grill until cooked through, turning occasionally.
