Kate

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or chicken legs, thighs wings, etc.
chopped fresh cilantro

Recipe



In a large bowl combine the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice. Measure in the chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper, some of the cilantro (save the rest for sprinkling on before serving). Whisk until the oil and vinegar are emulsified. Place chicken in a baking pan, pour marinade over all chicken. Cover and place in refrigerator for a few hours.

Grill the chicken over medium high heat until the juices run clear. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.


I have also placed the bone-in chicken in the crock pot on low all day and it was very tasty.
