KEY WEST CHICKEN
This recipe from the Florida Keys has been given to almost everyone I know. It is the best marinade for chicken, and it only takes 30 minutes from prep till you can grill! It's a great blend of flavors with honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. If you have time, try marinating overnight for the fullest flavor.

We're far from the West Coast-but the orange and ginger in the sauce for this chicken give us a taste of that part of the country. And it's one we enjoy frequently...my family wouldn't mind if I served this dish a couple of times every week! -Denise Hopper, Logan, Ohio

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor and texture, use fresh, ripe kiwis. Look for kiwis that are firm to the touch and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the kiwis before chopping them. The seeds can add a slight bitterness to the salsa.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife when chopping the kiwis and other ingredients. This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised or mushy.
- For a creamier salsa, add a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness.
- Serve the salsa immediately or chill it for later use. The salsa will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Garnish the salsa with fresh cilantro or mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
