Ancho Chile Marinade For Meat Ala Chipotle Food

CHILI AND CITRUS GRILLED CHICKEN {WHOLE30}

Steps:

• Combine the lime zest, lime juice, orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and black pepper in a large zip top bag. Add in the chicken pieces, seal the bag, and move the bag around to coat the chicken in the marinade. Place the bag in a bowl (just in case of leaks!) and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours. Preheat an outdoor grill to about 400º. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry. Grill the chicken pieces for about 10 minutes per side (keeping the heat roughly at 350º) or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165º. Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving. Squeeze with fresh lime juice and top with cilantro leaves.
