How to Make Juicy Chargrilled Lime Chicken

This Chargrilled Lime Chicken is the juiciest chicken I have ever eaten in my life! It’s so easy to make too. Simply dump the chicken in a bag with all the marinade ingredients, leave to marinate then grill. That’s literally it. Moist, tasty, incredible chicken. It's also naturally gluten free. Do I need to go on or shall we crack on with the recipe?

Here is what you will need to serve 3. (Easily doubled)

Marinade

30ml Light Soy Sauce
30ml Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp Honey Mustard
2tsp Dried Thyme
2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
Juice of 1 Small Lime
3 Chicken Breasts
Cooked Rice or Couscous, to serve
Chopped Parsley, to serve (optional)

Essential Equipment

Large Zip Lock/Freezer Bag
Griddle Pan

Step 1: The Marinade

Add all the ingredients for the marinade into the large zip lock bag and give it a good mix. I find it easiest to open the bag out in a bowl and fold the top over to keep it steady.

Step 2: Flavouring the Chicken

Add the chicken to the bag.

Seal the bag then give it all a damn good mush around.

Leave to marinate in the fridge for 24-48 hours. At the very least, 3 hours.

Take the bag out the fridge when you’re ready to cook. Then, using a rolling pin, carefully bang the thickest parts of the chicken to flatten a little. This makes cooking easier and more even. Do be tactful though or you’ll pop the bag like I did & have to clean up raw chicken marinade juice from everywhere!

Step 3: To Cook

Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add your chicken.

Want the pretty charred lines? Don’t touch them! Leave them exactly where they are for 5-8 minutes. (Depending on the size of your chicken breasts.)
Once the timer beeps, flip them over and repeat for another 5-8 minutes.

Step 4: Tadah!

As soon as they’re cooked through, wrap them in a bit of tin foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. This will help all those lovely juices stay inside the meat instead of pouring out.

Serve alongside some rice, couscous or even a salad. Enjoy!
