Receta Spicy Grilled Chipotle Marinated Chicken Thighs
My WHOLE family loved this chicken recipe. Actually they thought it was the best grilled chicken I have ever made. I usually do not purchase chicken thighs to grill, but I thought I would give it a try. OMG...it was awesome. The chicken was extremely moist and tender. I believe cooking chicken with the bone and skin on is key! I have pretty much just gotten into the habit of buying boneless skinless chicken breast., which tends to be dry. Defiantly not a good choice when grilling I now believe. NO BULL, this had great flavor, the chipolte tabasco is awesome. I'm already trying to think of other ways to use it. I think another key ingredient in this marinade is the lime zest. The was a wonderful meal paired up with the cilantro rice!
Enjoy
** When grilling meat the key is to NEVER walk away from the grill! Fix a drink, do what every you need, but stay with the grill! It is worth the effort. Turn the chicken often and baste!
