Citrus Chili Chicken image

After trying a delicious grilled corn recipe which featured fresh, high quality chili powder and limes, I was inspired to try making a marinade based on the same for chicken. It was refreshing and delicious - perfect for hot Florida summer nights. I served with Jasmine rice.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste.

This was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili next time.

I'm not a big fan of citrus flavors, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chili balanced out the sweetness of the oranges and lemons.

This was easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the sauce.

This was a fantastic recipe! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this again.
