Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

Chipotle Marinade

  • 1/3 cup Southern Drawl Chipotle Hot Sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

How to Make It

  1. Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together chipotle hot sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours in the fridge.
  3. Preheat the grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the chicken: Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Slice & garnish: Slice chicken against the grain. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
  6. Serve & enjoy: Serve with rice, grilled veggies, tacos, salads, or your favorite Southern sides. Enjoy the bold, smoky heat!
