Tips:

  • Prep ahead: You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. This will give it more time to absorb the flavors.
  • Use a grill pan: If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

This honey lime mesquite chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of honey, lime, and mesquite spices, then grilled to perfection. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.
