written by BBQ & Grilling Recipes | March 10, 2020

Ingredients

½ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips

Directions

Whisk vegetable oil, chili powder, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl to make a marinade. Place chicken strips into a large resealable plastic bag; pour marinade over chicken. Knead bag to coat chicken with marinade. Squeeze out air, seal bag, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove chicken strips from marinade; discard used marinade.

Grill chicken on preheated grill until browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes per side.
