Not Your Grandma's Spicy Lime Chicken

Not Your Grandma’s Spicy Lime Chicken

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 lb / 453 gr free-range organic chicken, cut into strips

2 limes

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika

1 ½ Dijon mustard (or English mustard)

3 tablespoons raw organic honey

3 tablespoons ketchup (make your own paleo ketchup with this recipe)

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

In a small bowl combine the zest and juice of one lime, red pepper flakes, paprika, mustard, honey, ketchup, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Spoon out one tablespoon of the marinade and set aside.

In a shallow sealable container or in a large Ziploc bag, combine chicken strips and marinade.

Turn the strips over (or shake the bag), so they’re well coated.

Cover (or seal) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (marinate overnight for fullest flavor).

Heat a grill or a grill pan to medium-high (if you’re using an outdoor grill lightly oil the grill grates).

Grill the chicken, until golden brown and cooked through, turning regularly.

Keep control of the heat really carefully, so the chicken cook through properly before it starts burning on the outside.

Transfer to a plate, spoon reserved marinade on top, grate lime zest on top and serve with lime wedges.
